anyone can join !

There are many ways to get involved in BAS activities. On top of our monthly membership meetings, we have two scheduled star parties each month ( weather permitting of course ).

There is also a need for BAS volunteers for star parties at schools, churches, and other events. To be informed of these events please join the BAS Facebook page or check our webpage calendar.

The forum's page is also a great place to communicate with other members or to communicate to each other.
