Hi Mike. Have already booked the time off with the boss. Will definitely be there. Very excited too as spsp was my first star party earlier this year. Had a thoroughly good time even though I was sans telescope. Just a pair of 7 by 50 binos. I admit I was a little too embarrassed to take along the dodgy old 114mm newt I've been making do with.
this time i will have something a little more substantial to work with.
I look forward too booking it in and meeting some of the IIS guys in person. They have been very helpfully in my hunt for dark sky locations
