Becoming an NEAS Member
The Society membership currently consists of around 45 members, some more active than others, covering a range of interests and abilities. Our aim is to cater for anybody with an interest in astronomy, so don’t be scared off if you consider yourself a “beginner”.
The annual subscription is £25 per person, £35 per couple/family.
This fee entitles members to the following:
- a copy of our monthly “Pulsar” newsletter
- the full use of our observatory dark site
- a reduced door charge for public meeting
- attendance to committee meetings
- invitation to members-only events, activities and committee meetings
We do also have a £10 “Junior Membership” for under 16s, which also entitles the Junior member to free entry to all public meetings (although you must be accompanied by an adult).
If you do wish to join, you can download a membership application form here.

Hi Sue, We will not be having our normal monthly meeting this month because of the Christmas period. However, we will be meeting again on Wednesday 20th Jan at the Henry Dixon Hall in Rivenhall. We usually gather between 7:30 and 8 pm. There will be lots of people there who will answer any questions you may have.
