The astronomical society I’m a member of has just celebrated its 40th Birthday.
It’s quite amazing to think that I’ve been a member on and off for 35 of those years! I first attended in 1982 and joined in 1983.
I’ve watched us go from a tiny society of about 15 people, all the way up to a charity with assets and property with substantial value.
It’s not been easy along the way, and the times I served on the committee are testament to that – many nights sat arguing my case over trivial matters.
Anyhow, we have made it to 40! Here’s to many more happy years, Mexborough & Swinton Astronomical Society!
