If you go the Brighton Astronomical Society's web page at

http://www.bhas.fsnet.co.uk

you will see the the Society has suspended meetings until further
notice. There have now been 2 successive AGMs with no volunteers to
be on the Committee and so the Society is effectively dormant
but not yet officially dead.

So we now have a city with population 250,000 with no Astronomical
Society. Any ideas on how to revive it? Would it be best to close
down completely and wait a few years until a new Society emerges or
should we hope that some new members will join & get things going again?
But that's unlikely as its very discouraging for a newcomer to join a
moribund society.

Anyone with suggestions?

Thanks,
