Merthyr Tydfil (Western Aphelion)

Comet opens have been held at Merthyr Tydfil for many years. A fantastic Comet National Championship was held here in 2024. The club is nestled on the shores of a large reservoir in a beautiful off-grid location, which is within the Brecon Beacons National Park (known in Welsh as Bannau Brycheiniog – or informally as ‘the Bannau’). All facilities are available thanks to the efforts of the club members, who are excellent hosts. If the sun shines the views are spectacular.
