A new project

It has been apparent to me for some time that there may well be a need for a local beginners' Astronomy Club in the Larne area. The IAA is of course an excellent Association and one which I am very proud to be a member of, but for many local people that I have been talking to, it is too far for them to attend the regular meetings in Belfast although the twice yearly visits to Carnfunnock do generate a lot of interest and are much appreciated.

I have therefore set up a blog parallel to this one called "Larne Astronomy" to discuss whether a local club pitched at the beginner - low intermediate level would generate sufficient interest to reach "critical mass".

Please comment on the blog - anonymous comments are allowed although all are moderated - local opinion is particularly encouraged.
