No I don’t think that is normal. As someone else has said, most clubs let to come along a couple of times to see if you like them and you then decide to join or not. This is how it works at our club. NLO in Sidmouth Devon. 

The Southwest Astrofair at the NLO is back in 2024 after what seems a very long break.

In 2024 it will held on the 29th of June rather than in August as previous years. We are hoping this will give us better weather!

2024 will be better than ever with more trade stands and other exhibitors. 
During Lockdown we have revamped our foyer and entrance area with new interactive touch screen displays. We have renovated and erected the Mond Astrograph as a display piece in our recent extension. The telescope was originally located in the Mond dome where the Lockyer 6.25 refractor is currently. The Mond telescope was removed from the site in the late 70’s but was gifted back to us a few years ago. 

Nice neat job, well done!
