Walsall Astronomical Society Star Camp

Established in 1990, we are a friendly astronomical society that is open to anyone with an interest in Astronomy, space exploration and similar topics. People with all levels of experience are welcome, especially beginners.

We have weekly club meetings, where we have talks on what's up in the sky during the month, the latest scientific discoveries, and also every month, a guest speaker who would deliver a talk on a specialist topic. We've had speakers from the BBC Sky at Night programme, as well as renowned professors and scientists from well known organisations.

If you interested in joining us, or you just want to see what we do, then you can just turn up to our club and meet us.
Your first visit is free.
We are based at the
Rushall Olympic Football Club in Walsall.
