The FAST Association
Welcome to the Association website
This section of the FAST website is run by Association members for the members - in it you will find news of up-coming local lectures and events, local news of interest to the volunteers who work at the Museum and more to come.
Who is it for?
The members of the association come from a wide range of ages and backgrounds, including ex-RAE apprentices, craftsmen and engineers. Many have a direct connection through family, for example, and others take an interest because they live in the area.
What are its activities?
What you will notice most is the band of volunteers that welcome visitors to the museum, answer questions and keep the "kidz corner" stocked with crayons and colouring books. They also keep the grass mown and the free car park neat and tidy. Less obvious are the activities of cataloguing and conservation, catering, answering the phone and emails etc. etc. The Association puts on a series of lectures on subjects connected with Farnborough and aviation in general.
How is it run?
As you would expect, I has a committee, a chairman and a secretary (see the contacts page for a list of who is doing what). There are full meetings once a year and more frequent "heritage meetings" to discuss operation matters concerning the upkeep of the collection and the museum grounds, the planning of stewarding rotas etc.
How do I join?
Please contact our membership secretary for a membership pack or you can download and print off an application form - please go to the "contact us" page for the address or download a form now.
