Mid Devon Astronomy Society

The Tiverton and Mid Devon Astronomy Society (TAMDAS), established in 1985, has fostered a love of astronomy among locals through regular meetings, guest speakers, and observing sessions. Although the society has formally disbanded as of summer 2023 due to a lack of volunteers for key roles, it aimed to inspire people of all ages and backgrounds to appreciate the wonders of the universe.
Throughout its history, TAMDAS provided opportunities for public observing with telescopes, including a historic 8-inch Newtonian telescope housed at Blundell's School. The society's legacy of community engagement in astronomy continues, even as its members have transitioned to support other local organisations with similar objectives.
