Links with other Societies
The Society maintains active links with other Societies that anchor our Society in its local, national and international context. Sometimes these are social rather than formal, but no less important for that.
Society Affiliations and Memberships
The Society is a member of the following regional and national organisations:
|
FAS — The Federation of Astronomical Societies |
|
SAGAS — The Southern Area Group of Astronomical Societies |
Additionally, a number of our members have individual memberships of other organisations, including:

International Societies
The Society is formally 'twinned' with Houston Astronomical Society, Texas, USA. Brian States of GAS and Larry Wadle were the powerhouses behind this project and together with Lee Cain, the Houston Astronomical Society President, he signed the formal twinning charter on the 5th June 1987.
Like any other twinning arrangement, it provides a forum for links between members of both Societies and co-operating together on various projects.
The Wey Poets and The Surrey Poetry Centre
We have an informal link with the Wey Poets and the Surrey Poetry Centre which arose out of a joint session which brought poets and astronomers together. The poets did the readings with the astronomers learning a bit about the poetry, then the astronomers explained the astronomical bits behind the poetry - with the poets finding out about the astronomy.
