Bridgend Astronomical Society has around 35 members many of whom are active observers and participate in regular observations sessions.

We have three dark sites, one at the top of the Bwlch Mountain another at St Brides in the Vale of Glamorgan and one at Battle Hill which is north of Brecon.

Astrophotography and astrocomputing are popular with members and many have constructed their own telescopes.

Our meeting place for lectures is at Parc Slip Nature Reserve at Aberkenfig.  These take place at 7.30 pm on the 2nd Friday of each month between September and May and are usually given by lecturers from Cardiff or Swansea Universities and members of other Welsh astronomical societies.  Almost every conceivable astronomical topic is covered.
