'Offers its members great opportunities to visit gardens, learn more about garden history and to socialise with like minded people with a myriad of garden related interests from plants to designed landscapes. As a member you will be able to join us for our garden visits both on the Island and also occasionally on the mainland, often to gardens not usually open to the public. Attend talks, study days an workshops to learn more about the Island’s parks, gardens and designed landscape and people associated with them.'

'Vectis Astronomical Society (VAS) is based in Newchurch on the Isle of Wight which is just off the South coast of the UK. The Society was founded in 1976 and our Observatory was completed and opened in 1998. The Society is a friendly group of 70 or so amateur astronomers ... In addition to our normal club night each Thursday, VAS has monthly meetings, with guest speakers, throughout the year. These meetings are open to all. No charge is made but a donation to our Society funds would really help.'
