How to become a member?

Becoming a member of the ‘Volkssterrenwacht Beisbroek vzw’- Public Observatory Beisbroek – association is not expensive and opens many opportunities. It is possible to use the infrastructure, follow courses, borrow books from the library,… A combined membership with the national VVS (Association of Astronomy) is not necessary but is recommended: In that case you receive the magazine Heelal and the yearly astronomical almanac (Hemelkalender) – together something like 500 pages astronomical literature. Youngsters below 21 receive Astra, the magazine from the Youth Association for Astronomy (JVS), for free as well.
