Our Committee
Meet the LAS Team
The LAS is run entirely by unpaid volunteers. Our committee members give their time to organise our annual programme, manage the society and its membership, run a variety of events and take astronomy into the wider community.

We are a democratic, non-commercial, non-profit organisation. In accordance with our governing constitution, all committee members must be elected or re-elected at our AGM each year by our society members who vote at that meeting. However, the incumbent committee has the flexibility to co-opt additional LAS members to the committee at any committee meeting during the year.
We are always on the lookout for proactive people with fresh ideas to join our team. If you're keen to help shape our future, please take a look at our Join the LAS Committee page to learn more about serving on our committee.
If you're an LAS member willing to help us occasionally, but you don't want to serve on our committee, we would invite you to join our volunteers WhatsApp group. Please get in touch with our Secretary at secretary@lewesas.org.uk for more information.
