Welcome to the list and meteor observing Paul! You are certainly correct 
that amateurs can contribute to meteor observing, and more observers are 
definitely needed.

I personally do not know of any sites for observing near you, but I know 
a couple people in that area. If you don't get any responses from here, 
send me an email and I will try to find something out for you.

Clear skies!
