Cardiff Astronomical Society was founded in July 1975 by Dr Bob Owens and Dave Powell at an out of London meeting of the British Astronomical Association held at Dyffryn Gardens. Dave Powell is still a member today as the Society continues to develop its activities supported by a very active and enthusiastic committee. Membership is over 200 and is drawn from a wide geographical area : South and South West Wales, and into the West Country. Despite the travelling involved members attending meetings usually number over 60 and on several occasions during the year this number will reach over 100.
