Alex, Mike,
I'd like to suggest IIS has a permanent page that shows a clickable map of the eastern states, showing observing spots such that hovering the mouse over one displays a popup with:
A) the organising club/group responsible,
B) a link to their observing page, if they have one, where they can find contact phone number or email and instructions on how to get there
C) the next planned date,
D) a STATUS keyword showing "Unplanned/Planned/Definitely ON/Cancelled/Clouded out/Disused";
E) a nominated IIS member responsible for maintaining the info for a site.
With respect to B, this could be to a society's own page (as with ASNSW or NSAS or SAS) or possibly a page here on IIS.
Lastly, give users the option of plotting a route to get to a selected site using Google Maps, based on their current position (portable devices) or address (desktops).
