Welcome to Worthing Astronomical Society's Website!!

Worthing Astronomical Society was founded in 1965 and is affiliated to the Federation of Astronomical Societies (FAS).
Worthing Astronomical Society website was previously housed at http://www.was.org.uk.
Our aims are to :

• Promote interest in all aspects of astronomy
• Encourage observational work
• Organise regular meetings at which reports of practical work may be presented and discussed and to which guest speakers may be invited
• Provide equipment that members may use to develop their interest in astronomy
• Provide a focal point for astronomical activity in Worthing and the surrounding area
• Provide a channel of communication with other local, regional and national astronomical societies

We meet at 1930-2200hrs on the 3rd Monday of each month (except August) at : See our How to Find Us page for more details, and a map.

We also have our own Observatory, and hold regular observing evenings and star parties. We would love to see you there - please see the Observatory and Star Parties pages for details, or contact us for more information. To celebrate the International Year of Astronomy 2009, Worthing Astronomical Society, together with Adur Astronomical Society, will be hosting an exhibition of members' work at Worthing Library. If you have something that you wish to contribute to this exhibition, please contact WAS News. We would love to see new members at our monthly meetings.
