The Scarborough and District Astronomical Society was founded in 1976 by John Harper F.R.A.S., its Honorary President. After meeting at the Osgodby Community Centre on the southern outskirts of Scarborough, it moved to the old North Riding College on Filey Road, then into the town's library. Its present home is East Ayton Village Hall, four miles west of Scarborough. A few years ago the Society was renamed the Scarborough and Ryedale Astronomical Society, to more accurately reflect its membership, and the establishment of the Astronomy Centre at Low Dalby. Sir Patrick Moore F.R.A.S. opened this facility in 2001. Currently there are approximately 50 members. The society is a registered charity (number 1092385) and is affiliated with the Federation of Astronomical Societies (FAS).
