Committee and Contact

Ashford Astronomical Society is looked after by a committee of six members. There will always be at least one (usually most!) present at any given meeting. Make sure you say hello! In addition to the core Committee, there is an extensive team who contribute online and during the meetings.

You can contact us by email (please add committee@ashfordastro.org.uk to your “safe senders” and/or keep an eye on your spam folder!) or via our social media channels (Facebook group, Twitter or Instagram).

Steve Walker: Chairman

Steve has been a keen amateur astronomer from a young age and he has been a member of the society since 2008. Steve regularly presents the monthly night sky tour “Up-stares”, and he is always on hand to help guide members around the night sky or help them get to grips with a telescope.

Sarah Hall: Treasurer

Sarah, our Treasurer, can be normally found at meetings in the kitchen helping serve  the tea and coffee to our thirsty members.  She has been a member since 2008 and has a keen interest in all things astronomical.

Jon Clarke: Equipment Manager

Aimee Babbs: Secretary

I have been interested in Astronomy and space since I caught a late night rerun of The Sky at Night many years ago (2012/2013?) and have been a member of AAS ever since and love learning more and more about astronomy.

 

 

 

Steve Jackson: Membership Secretary

Steve has had an interest in astronomy from a very young age, but it wasn’t until he moved to Ashford that the dark skies piqued his interest. He joined AAS in 2008 and served as Chairman from 2016-2019. He combines his interest (and career) in radio and electronics with astronomy to be the AAS go to expert for radio astronomy. When not doing astronomy, Steve is a radio presenter on 107.1 Radio Ashford.

Danielle Morgan: Social Media Co-ordinator

Danielle has been intrigued with the idea of space, stars and all things universe for many years. She attended her first meeting with her equally space obsessed father in 2018. Since then, the meetings have become the highlight of her month! Her 7 year old son loves to join on occasion. He certainly has astronomy in his genes.
