'Vectis Astronomical Society (VAS) is based in Newchurch on the Isle of Wight which is just off the South coast of the UK. The Society was founded in 1976 and our Observatory was completed and opened in 1998. The Society is a friendly group of 70 or so amateur astronomers ... In addition to our normal club night each Thursday, VAS has monthly meetings, with guest speakers, throughout the year. These meetings are open to all. No charge is made but a donation to our Society funds would really help.'
