THESE past few months I have been researching the original Barry Astronomical society that was active from 1912-1923.
I am delighted to announce that due to several responses from local people I have made some progress and the work continues.
During this time I have received a number of requests on the lines of could we have a new astronomical society in Barry?
With this in mind I have booked the Barry Island Community Centre, Friars Road, Barry Island, CF625TR for 7.30pm on Monday, June 6, to find out if there is enough interest for this to happen.
I myself would like to promote the use of small telescopes and observe the night skies, aiming events at beginner level.
If you are interested in joining such a group then please do attend the meeting. I can also be reached by email at dave.powell@uwclub.net or home telephone number 029 2055 1704.
