Worthing Astronomers

Worthing Astronomers is free to join. The club has an emphasis on hands on astronomy. This means more time stargazing and less time listening to lectures. Worthing Asronomers members range from inexperienced beginners to experienced observers and the club organises regular club nights and public observing sessions.

Talks like "Pulsars - Everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask" and other events like the Partial Lunar Eclipse BBQ and Skittles Night (a tried and tested combination if ever we've seen one).
