The RASC is pleased to announce the launch of a new national funding programme called the Public Speaker Programme.

The goal of the programme is to encourage our Centres to organize and host public talks, by speakers from outside their local area, about astronomical and related topics. The Society recognizes the value of sharing the knowledge and experience of our members and others more widely than may be otherwise possible, by providing funding to pay for a speaker’s travel and accommodation expenses.

Funding is provided by the generous donations of the Society's sustaining members. The national secretary will be announcing the first round of funding shortly.
