Weather forecast is for reasonably clear skies tomorrow night for the main event.
Quite a few of us from the Cleveland and Darlington astro society (CADAS) are gathering at the Wynyard Planetarium from about 8pm onwards. All are welcome - but anyone who turns up - bring a folding chair.
(maybe you could get there nethwen)
There'll be tea and coffee on the go, and a couple of big telescopes with cameras attached, piped onto the screen in the planetarium.
Some of us might also have scopes set up (me included) for visual viewing (other stuff, not the Perseids - you can't catch an unpredictable 'whoosh' in a telescope )

Worth a look anyway I suppose.
But I believe the weather is due to take a turn for the worse.
Which radio stations are broadcasting the event(s)?
where abouts in the north east do you live pm me if you don't want to broadcast it
You got mail.
There's supposed to be an ISS sighting at 9.41p.m. too.
It's all happening up there.
Are radio stations talking about the meteors? Anyone, please?
