    I'm interested in starting a telescope user group in the south Wicklow/carlow border region.


    Was previously involved in Astronomy Ireland but clubs end up too political!
    Comittees....AGMs ,chair people.....aaagghhh!
    I just like looking at the sky!

    I practice my astronomy solo at present with my Meade 10" LKX50 sct but its good to meet other users and share equipment...something I used to do with a loosely associated 'AI 'group but no longer. I and my Wife live in the south county Wickolw area..near the Carlow border but anybody from anywhere is welcome.

    Anybody who has any size scope interested in weekend nights occassionally meeting up at a dark sky site reply.

    Astronomy Ireland and AGM in the same sentence? must have misread that ;-)

    Several folks from the South Dublin Astronomical Society go observing in Wicklow and not foor away are the folks in Kildare astronomy club. Ok neither are near the Carlow end of wicklow, but if you ask on www.irishastronomy.org/boards you might find some people nearer to you.

    Cheers,

    Albert's right Mark, on both counts! AI & AGM don't go well together, and there are lots of like-minded folks 'out there' like you. SDAS might be a good stat, but give that IFAS thing a go and see what replies you get - its a fab site!

    The "AI" experience has left us all scarred I see!
