Hi Jen,
When I first joined IceInSpace, I asked the Iceman (who lives locally) about an Astronomy Club in the area.
He said he had thought about it, but decided against it because of all the politics etc. involved.
Instead, like minded people in the area just meet for informal viewing sessions on an agreed semi regular basis.
It works for us. And it is free. And no paperwork or bureaucracy.
We have had over 20 scopes regularly, sometimes a lot fewer, at our Pony Club sessions.
And as you know, the lack of a "Club" has not stopped Iceman from organising one of the biggest Southern Hemispher Astro-Camps each year (IISAC). [Although obviously a heck of a lot of work for Mike and friends - Thanks Mike]
Just something to think about. (ask him)
