I have indications from quite a few others and have had quite a few queries so it may start to fill up in the next couple of weeks. Jen (& Drew?) will be there and so will Andy Campbell, John (xstream), Paddy, Barry Coverdale, Nicko etc I am sure are coming so the cabins may fill up soon.
Hi all
I have had a suggestion that we change the name of the camp to the "Footy Grand Final" camp just in case there is any confusion about the meaning of Grand Final in the heading. Good idea!
just to reiterate the name is just to remind people of the weekend it is on. It is NOT the final camp!!:
Hi all
Have some news! I was in Sydney over the weekend and took the opportunity to drop into the guys at Bintel. Had a very pleasant hour chatting with Mick, Don and John about all things astro. The subject of Snake Valley came up and end result we now have Bintel as a sponsor!!
The upshot is that all attendees at the camp will get a voucher/code for a 10% discount on a Bintel purchase over $100.
They will also be donating an item for us to use as a door prize/raffle prize in conjunction with Celestron.
Obviously, we are a small camp and they are running a business so they are not going to shower us with Televue eyepieces but it is a great boost to us and we are pleased to have them on board.
I will be updating our Facebook page and website tonight to reflect this.
In other news, we will be having some visitors from the US of A. Eric and Nancy from Utah made an enquiry in this thread http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=148020 and thanks to Andy Campbell, who put them onto us, look like they will be coming over for the Sunday night. I believe they are staying until the 8th October and may be keen to do some more stargazing so if anyone could help out with that, I can put you in touch.
