Welcome

Thank you for visiting blackpoolastronomy.org.uk - the website of the Blackpool & District Astronomical Society.

BADAS was founded in October 1986 by some keen local amateur astronomers. Our society is growing and has around twenty-five members, with a wide cross-section from novices to experienced observers.

Meetings take place on a regular basis on the first Wednesday of each month.

Meetings are friendly, relaxed and informal and all are welcome to attend.

** Beginners are very welcome **
