Thank you to our vibrant community of members – you are the beating heart of ASSAP. The volunteer committee is composed entirely of members like you, and every activity we run is designed with your interests at the centre. 

ASSAP is a registered charity and learned society, founded in 1981 to investigate, research and educate about a wide range of anomalous phenomena – from hauntings to UAP, psi to cryptids. The Members’ Area is your gateway to everything we do.

ASSAP Training Weekender in the Broad Haven Triangle is mission accomplished! 
 

Find out more about the exciting Weekender from our Blog! 

Broad Haven School, the location of the infamous 1977 event where numerous school children produced impressions and art of what they saw land in the field and brush beyond the playground.

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. 
 

Coming through letterboxes this week is Seriously Strange Issue 163 

As you can see they are dropping onto doormats, we will enable Seriously Strange Issue 163 to be available here as part of the Catalogue of Seriously Strange in our Members Area clicking the Members Section. 



Production, Printing, and the Postage and Packaging costs have considerably increased, (Issue 162/Anomaly Journal combo for instance cost more than £1400 in postage) while ASSAP has maintained its approachable and accessible Membership, has not increased the Annual Membership for more than 15 years! 

This does lead into the conversation we as a charity, company and an association, as we close the year and move into the new year, we will undertake a review of Membership and our value into the future.

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.
