BAS School Nights and Blue Cards

We must hold Blue Cards for School Nights

Blue Card Services, and public and school sentiment, have changed in recent months and we are now required to hold Blue Cards to attend BAS School Telescope Nights.  However, Blue Cards are not required for other public nights we conduct at venues such as Maleny Observatory or Witton Barracks.

Here is a link explaining how to apply for a Blue Card as a volunteer with BAS:

Warwick Facility Fee

by

A per-night facility fee payable by astronomy visitors to the Warwick & District Archers.

BAS Members: BAS members pay just $10/night.

Non-BAS Members: Non-BAS members pay $10/night plus a single additional $10 charge (Non-member stays 1 night and pays $20; Stays 2 nights and pays $30; etc.)

(Please note:  We charge a little more than the base $10 charge (for example, $10.26 etc) to cover commission and fees levied by Square and credit card companies.)

Either scan the QR code or click through to our Square payment page: https://square.link/u/vXHhiIta

At the end of each month, BAS transfers collected fees to the Warwick & District Archers. Your fee payment helps the Archers cover some of their costs for site leasing, mowing, electricity, gas, building construction, maintenance and insurance, rubbish removal, vegetation management, tractor and mower costs, and much more. Payments of more than just the base applicable fee are welcomed.
