    Dunno about clubs, but have a look at http://www.heavens-above.com. Set up your location and there's loads of stuff like Whole Sky Chart, satellite passes etc...

    Looks like you are only a couple of days late for this, might still be worthwhile contacting someone about it though.
    Getting Stellarium is a great resorce for your computer, also buying a planisphere is a great way to learn your way around the sky, good bookshops often have them, Eason's definitely do.
