We are keen to get our Education rollout underway, Steve Parsons has been hard at work crafting this unique ASSAP programme and the weekend consisted of both AAI and ARI programs.
Membership - what to look forward to
1. ASSAP Paranormal Webinars LIVE
Every Thursday, 7 pm UK time – exclusive to members. Delivered by Zoom.
- A unique programme of live presentations, talks, panels and discussions. - Approx 1.5 to 2hrs.
- Guests range from leading academics and seasoned researchers to passionate enthusiasts.
- Q&A, discussion and conversation. Explore the unknown.
- Over 250 catalogued sessions!
- Around 50 live events per year!
- More than 5 years of content!
ASSAP Paranormal Webinars double as a practical platform: for speakers to test new ideas, refine presentations and receive feedback from an engaged audience.
2. Publications delivered to your door! (or Inbox/Members Area)
| Publication | Format | Frequency | Content |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seriously Strange Magazine | Print + digital PDF | Endevouring for multiple issues per year | Exclusive features, creative pieces, research articles; member submissions welcome. |
| Anomaly Journal | Print + digital PDF | Annual (under review) | Peer-level research papers and in-depth studies. Longer form content. |
Future plans: We love print. However the costs in print/postage have really caught up in recent years.
We are exploring a single, expanded Seriously Strange title with higher frequency, longer articles, and continuing with our new higher-quality science-magazine aesthetic (think BBC Science Focus meets National Geographic), and incorporating Anomaly pieces into the Seriously Strange format. Anomaly for the time being will be placed on the proverbial shelf and the digital catalogue will continue to be available. This is under review for 2026 period.
3. Resources & Archives
- Online Article Library – classic cases, scientific methods, equipment guides, ghost research, FAQs (“Am I psychic?”, “Is my house haunted?”) and an active research blog.
In 2026-2027, we wish to develop an online Journal archive per article, searchable by author and title, tagged correctly drawn from on Anomaly archives.
Physical Lending Library – Our physical library of information books, antiquarian, rare books, journals and ephemera curated by our Archivists and Librarians over 45 years has, for the most part been sold in 2025/2026, and as such will no longer be available. Thank you very much to our members.
We have resource libraries that also need cataloguing at a number of Universities.
4. Events & Conferences
- Annual conferences and regional events – always affordable with accessible pricing.
- Members receive Early-Bird pricing, making great value even better!
5. Training - what sets ASSAP apart
What sets ASSAP apart is our Education and training. Our training curriculum is based upon the most up to date information and methods and the course notes are endorsed by the SPR (Society for Psychical Research) and are required reading by students of the Rhine Education Centre.
ASSAP Accredited Investigator AAI
This is the basic level of training, and upon completion, you will be eligible to become part of an ASSAP investigation team working on cases that ASSAP have been asked to examine.
ASSAP Registered Investigator ARI
This is a more involved level of training, and participants must have previously undertaken the AAI training course as a prerequisite. Upon completion of the ARI training course, you will be eligible to take charge of and lead an ASSAP investigation team on cases that ASSAP have been asked to examine. This course will be available in the next few months.
6. Governance
We have an ASSAP Code of Conduct and Articles of Association for how we operate. We ask that members familiarise themselves; nothing exhausting - we wish to function in a way that benefits our membership and pushes the discussion of anomalous phenomena further forward.
We're all volunteers, humans with full-time lives and ASSAP is our passion and our community. We're no longer afraid to say we don't always get everything right; we strive to act with integrity, always aiming to become better.
Our committee and support are made up of people just like you, and we would like your assistance in continuing to be an open association on this journey into the anomalous.
As a member, you can have your say and potentially become a committee member or a supporting representative. We all have skills and knowledge that can be advantageous to the continued success of this volunteer-led association.
7. Awards and Research Grants
ASSAP has a support program that actively funds member-led research investigations. Grants are available to cover the costs of research projects – whether you’re an academic, independent investigator or dedicated enthusiast. We welcome proposals from all backgrounds and experience levels.
8. Recognition
Additionally, Annual Awards – we proudly present two honours each year:
- Michael Bentine Award
- Robert Moore Award
Nominations are open to current members. You can put forward suggestions and a citation for the recipient of each of these prestigious awards. The characters whose name is held in high regard in the history of anomaly research. Each of the awards has different criteria, and we look forward to your nominations.
