H0ughy, I think I recall an earlier post where you mentioned you may not be at AF in future - what has changed for future years? You're part of the fixture and fittings so it will genuinely be a shame not to see you there. I so look forward to meeting everyone each year and it doesn't seem right for you to be absent!
Chris
i will be back one year soon, but with the home move and debt something has to give. appeasing swmbo
I echo all the sentiments expressed here for you and you dad, Al. My dad passed a month before the 1998 Astrofest and I didn't have the heart to attend that year. All the best and the deity of you choice (or not) look after you.
How would you be David, first time in 9 years you are ABLE to brag, and you have to forego. We will miss you for sure, if only for the amount of loan equipment we wont be able to borrow this year... and the smell of burning electronics!
Oh oh... I just had a vision of Astrofesters scrambling for position in the vacuum created near Jamison House.

well i am crushed for Alan, unbelievable blow that is, but for the greater good i decided not to push the trip further. i will dismantle the doghouse instead and pack more for the move.
it will be like the three bears - who has been sleeping in my bed
yes the house of spares will not be there, and i wonder if i should have gone up anyway with the spares to sell
Al so sorry to hear about your dad mate.
Our thoughts are with you and your family.
Let us know how he's doing.
David sorry the trip had to be canceled mate.

yeah, damn, I was hoping to borrow a remote shutter release timer? mine has decided to pack up just in time
Now that the great god of spares won't be there does anyone else have one they don't need?
Alan
Very sorry to hear about your Dad so soon after your mother passed away last year. I hope he recovers soon and is well.
Look after yourself and family and I will miss both you and David at Astrofest, but there is a bright side as there will be a huge space for the rest of us to spread out in.
Allan
Twas the night before Astrofest, and all through the house there's camera gear and clothes strewn about and the kitchen is a mess from baking. LOL
Got my van packed and I'll be heading off fairly early in the AM.
Looking forward to catching up with you all.
