I think you should all stop trying to dig up the past and let sleeping dogs lie. Enough damage was done that it will still take many more years to heal and make WA the powerhouse of astronomy it should be, blessed as we are with a sympathetic climate and our important position on a global scale. There will always be differences of opinion, its part of our human nature. I wasn't involved with ASWA when the split happened, I was down with the now defunct Murdoch Astro Society, but I heard enough to know that I wouldn't get the story straight, and that would only make things worse. There are two sides to every story, and both sides think they were in the right. Best to drop it. If you hang around long enough, Sean, you may eventually hear why, but best not to make things any worse right now.
I Know this thread is pretty old - but interested to know if aGwa is still going the WebSite seems "old" and no response to emails I send. Quite interested as not keen on driving to Como for aSwa meetings and a Perth Northern Suburbs based club appeals.
Anyone Know?
i cant believe you found it sean
