Formed in 1974, the Federation of Astronomical Societies is a union of astronomical societies, groups, and clubs, liasing together, where practicable, for their mutual benefit. It has a membership of around 200 groups, with the sum of all the groups members being around 13,000 people.The Federation aims to be a body of societies united in their attempts to help each other find the best ways of working for their common cause of creating a fully successful astronomical society. In this way it endeavours to be a true federation, rather than some remote central organization disseminating information only from its own limited experience.
