I AM looking for people in the Bude area who have a keen interest in astronomy. As there doesn't seem to be any active club in the locality, I would like to meet people who may be interested in getting together for clear night observations.

Previous experience of using a telescope would be good, as I have just bought a Newtonian Reflector and don't have a clue how to use it! I have researched and found a reasonably good 'dark site' just five minutes drive from Bude.

You can contact me at Bude Sports in Queen Street or phone me on 01288 352943. (If there is an active astronomical club please accept my apologies and let me know where you are).

Bude.
