After completing the membership application, wait in peace, for example, a membership fee bill. Your membership will be decided at the next board meeting and then the invoice will be sent.
After the turn of the year and the old members, the old members will have to wait a little longer, as the annual meeting of the association will be held during the spring and will decide on membership fees, after which the membership fees for this year will be sent.
The same page works when you update your contact information, for example, as the email address changes. For this reason, keep your username and password carefully as you will need them later. Maintaining up -to -date information is essential, for example, membership fees will be billed and the weekly bulletins will be sent by using the email address you provide.
Welcome to membership!

Events for members

The time and content of the member evenings will be described in the weekly bulletin sent to all members during the term.
All members but also people who are interested in the activities of the association and possibly consider membership of the association are welcome to member evenings. You can also participate remotely on the membership evenings, and the connection address will be published for members in the weekly bulletin.
Membership evenings often offer short presentations on interesting topics, a device presentations or pictures of the observations. In the event of a clear weather, we go to the telescope to see the current starry sky!
Monthly lecture
During the winter season, we organize a month's lectures once per month in suitable premises in the center of Tampere, for example, in Laiku, a cultural center.
Monthly lectures are free for anyone interested!
Blogs provide information
The association publishes a number of blogs focused on different topics that are readable by all members and can participate in pictures and text. Blogs are in Finnish, but you can translate them to your own language with a link on the page.

Guidance and advice
Members of the association may request guidance and advice on the purchase and use of telescopes or other equipment, for example. Usually, the things you ask are interested in many other members, so they can be expressed at member evenings. Ask bravely!
