Hi everyone,
Just a quick word about our Major Sponsors. We have been lucky over the years to have had the great support for people such as Bintel and SkyWatcher. This year is no different,
Bintel is an authorised distributor of ZWO and has donated a great prize in our raffle. Likewise Will from
SkyWatcher is supporting us with a bunch of great products.
Simulation Curriculum, makers of Starry Night and Sky Safari, have decided to come on board as Major Sponsor this year as well. Finally,
ExtraVision has given us a number of prizes. On the downside, our raffle is going to take as long as it does every year, but on the plus, there are lots of great prizes and we will be drawing the prizes at lunch so we don't lose the night, should it be clear.
The raffle is open to all registrants, organising Club members, their families and friends. It is an important part of our running of the Astrofest, allowing us to buy and update equipment, and to defray as much from the fees as we can. We can't sell the tickets online, but if you are a registrant and wish to buy tickets for your friends and family, contact the Registrar at registrar(at)qldastrofest.org.au. Of course, tickets will be on sale at the Queensland Astrofest up to the drawing on Saturday 11th August.Have a look at all our sponsors contributions on our
website.
If you use social media, I would like to ask that you share our Major Sponsors' websites and social media pages so they can get as much exposure as possible. Their support is vital for the Queensland Astrofest, and The Queensland Astrofest would like to return that support.
Cheers for now.
