SAS Memberships - New Season 2021-2022

September is the start of our new season (September – August).

SAS Memberships start form 1st September 2021 to 31st August 2022.

 

Free Membership Renewal (2021-2022)

The SAS committee decided to wave the 2021 membership renewal fee for all existing members.

This would normally have become due on 1st September, however as we have not been able to meet or hold events, and in recognition of your continued support we felt it only right to do this.

New Members (2021 – 2022) 

New members during the coming season will still be required to pay the membership fee.

 

Joining/Renewing helps support your local astronomical society & community.

So come on down to Cygnus Observatory join or renew your SAS membership. One of the largest & most active astronomical society’s in the North East, for advice, information, join in the ‘Craic’ on all things astronomical.
