That's one aspect of my current thought processes Liz, yes. I'm looking at establishing a far-northern connection with a Finnish club for MAS, and forming a sister club relationship. Their amateur astronomy experience in the higher latitudes is about as different to ours that I think is possible, short of us relocating to Mars.
I'd very much like to emulate what ASAW have successfully done in Albury/Wodonga with their link to the Cape Fear society in North Carolina:

Given that a few of us at MAS are off to Hawaii in the near future, I'd like to take the same group and go to Finland the year after to experience decent aurorae for ourselves. You're most welcome to come along!
