I'm in for all nights. Paper work and postage already submitted. Hanging out as usual, I know the Monday night will be the pick of the nights (it always is). Looking forward to catching up with everyone.

Regards

David

Looks like I will be missing out once more
Have 3-4 things on that weekend, including a couple of scouts activities, so won't be able to make it.
Hope you all have fun as usual.
And Jen, start your purple countdown clock!

Hi Ken
I sent you an email with the details back early August. Let me know if you need it resent. Also could you PM me with a phone number, I appear to have mislaid it.

Cheers

Malcolm

All booked in ready to go, to the Snake Valley Star party, got some new toys coming from Steve in QLD to play with as well, maybe here next week. Got my pole master camera, have not had a chance to try it yet, bad weather.
Looking forward to catch up with the ones I met in March.

Hi all
I have done a quick collation of the bookings so far, and they are starting to come in a bit now. So far we have:

Malcolm (me)
Paul Byron
Jen
Rex
David Murton
Wren
John Glossop
Rowland
Paul Fitzgerald
Jamie Pole
Stefan Del Pra
Claude Del Pra
Denis Busato and his dad
Kavinda
Michael Booth
Emiel Booth
Robert Dumesney
Paddy
Paul Byron

Have had verbal confirmations from a number of others and I suspect that some who have headed up to VicSouth this weekend will let me know once they are past that event. As usual the cabins are starting to get a little tight, only have a couple left at this stage and then it is sharing time!!
The row of cabins at the south end of the quadrangle are currently being renovated. Andrew has told me that he is hoping that they will be finished by the time of the camp, but these things are always a little unpredictable. He has told me that if needed we can use the "meeting hall" which is the recently renovated building between the rec hall and the dining hall as an additional cabin, and may also have access to the "staff bunkroom" that joins the dining room if needed so we will have plenty of beds.

I hear that Vicsouth was very nice on Friday night, hopefully everyone had a great time up there and the skies were clear.

Clear Skies

Some updates on Snake Valley

Firstly, a couple of short announcements. Steve Fleming has volunteered to do a short presentation on the Saturday afternoon. This will be a version of the one he and Dr Terry Moon will be presenting at NACAA next year on the subject of Citizen Astronomy. I am also planning to do a short presentation myself on the Great American Eclipse, hopefully with Jen's assistance as far as images are concerned (although I am sure Jen will say a word or 2!!).

Secondly, I have organised a couple of donations for door prizes. One is in hand, the other should arrive this week and once it is in hand I will let everyone know about those.

Thirdly, bookings are still coming in, current list is as follows.
If I have missed anyone, please let me know!!

Malcolm (me)
Paul Byron
Jen
Rex
David Murton
Wren
John Glossop
Rowland
Paul Fitzgerald
Jamie Pole
Stefan Del Pra
Claude Del Pra
Denis Busato and his dad
Kavinda
Michael Booth
Emiel Booth
Robert Dumesney
Paddy
John Pullen
Steve Fleming
Barry Coverdale
Karl Rodgers
Kate Dempsey
Caitlin Dempsey
(1 other possible in the Rodgers/Dempsey group)

We still have 2 free cabins, so if you have not yet booked, grab them now.

Don't forget, the spit roast is on again on the Saturday evening. Cost is $10 per head. In the past we have made some donations from the surplus from the roast. I am proposing that we look at donating to the Movember Campaign for men's mental health. Happy to listen to any alternative suggestions, but I think this is a suitable cause. The majority of our attendees are male and this is an issue that can affect any one of us. Let me know what you think!!

Malcolm
