I've been a member of
ASWA for seven very happy years and have had no issues with people having mad political aspirations or fleecing innocent members of their money.
Some people like to join clubs and some people don't, it's down to individual taste.
ASWA has four regular section meetings a month, so there is something there for all comers, lunar, deep-sky, workshops, armchair astronomy and talks from amateurs and professionals, plus an observatory under construction, an extensive loan library of books and equipment, a very busy newsgroup, regular overnight trips to seriously dark skies and two camps a year.
It's a great club with great people, and we also make visitors and guests very welcome.
ASWA has been around since 1950, so it's certainly a club that has been satisfying its members for a long time.
Cheers,
HilB...
