Daniel,
the inaugural 'official' get-together on the 8th May is a night for any people interested to come along, join, meet each other, organise a local viewing spot, and if the weather is in our favour, show the newbies thru some scopes from the grassed area across the road which is not an ideal viewing location, but it is good enough to show most objects.
You are certainly welcome and I hope you can make it.

You can't tell me people don't have an interest in Astronomy.
We don't officially start our Association until tonight (our 1st get-together to formalise) but I just had a phone call from an 'Historic Society' asking if we could come along to their meeting in July and do an Astonomy talk and viewing night!!!!
Seems the word is out already! Cool!!!

UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!
We had our very first official get-together/info night tonight for the SVAA.
It was a great night with all sorts of Astro discussions flying around the room. Unfortunately no viewing coz of cloud but a great first night.
Results: 12 new members signed up tonight bringing the total to 21 (10 Adults and 11 kids), plus 7 more adults interested in joining, but being unable to make it along tonight!
A lot was resolved in just one night!!!! Where and when especially.
It was such a great night without viewing, can't wait till we get together next week for viewing!!!!
