Welcome to the Bromsgrove Astronomical Society

Content is still being entered so please check back regularly for updates.

BASOC, the Bromsgrove Astronomical Society, caters for Astronomers of all ages and experience in the local area. 

We have many members ranging from highly seasoned amateurs to those without telescopes at all - so don't feel too intimidated to pop along one evening, every 3rd Monday of the month at the Bromsgrove Rugby Club in Finstall.  The Rugby Club is a fantastic venue and offers dark skies with a good southern view.  If you're not sure where we are take a look on Google Maps, society location for more info.

The normal monthly event consists of a talk by a prominent speaker or other Astro related activity, such as a quiz or technical evening.  We start the evenings at 8pm sharp and continue until at least 10pm, often much later if weather permits good sky viewing.  Full details of our upcoming events can be found in the society calendar on this site.

At our first event in October 2008 we attracted over 70 visitors and membership now stands at a healthy 40 making us one of the largest astro societies in the country.  We hope to continue attracting new interest and welcome anyone to pop along one evening soon.


NEXT EVENT:

Our next meeting will be on Monday September 20th. Guest speaker Chris Livingstone will be giving a talk entitled " Beneath Southern Skies"

Doors open at 19:30 for a 20:00 start.

Newcomers are welcome.
