I'll look to get there around the same time as Rick.

I have a key, to get in.

See you all there.

How was it last night at the Pony Club? Looked to be a pretty good night from my place but it did get pretty damp, a legacy of all that rain. I trust the visitors were impressed, and hopefully stuck around for Eta Carinae to rise.

A big thank you to all of you for such a memorable night!

Thank you Allan for responding to me on this thread and organising the evening and looking after us, your magic van had everything we could ever need

Every one we met showed great hospitality and really accommodated our non-astro friends, pretty sure they have an interest now in it now and I really am glad I got to experience the southern skies with other like minded friendly folk.

I hope I can return the favor one day to any of you although I can't promise you amazing skies in London. I genuinely mean that though, if ever you are around please do let me know as I would be happy to organise a night.

8 days was certainly not enough to enjoy this amazing country so I am certain we will be back in the future and would be glad to enjoy your company again.

Had a good turn out last night.
Geoff (Inmykombi)
Jakob
Rick
John (Fizics)
Shane
Plus our UK guests Dan and Angel
plus there friends Adam and Steph.
(albeit Angel and Steph originally form US)

Unfortunately the Pony Club was not at its best.
Dew started early as soon as the breeze dropped and it got pretty damp.
The sky was not as dark as usual probably due to the moisture in the air.
However, a good time was had by all, and some nice views were shared.
(and two different varieties of apple charlotte were sampled. (yes Mr Owl, one had cream).

Thanks to everyone for coming.
I locked the gate at 11:58.

Thanks Dan,

They were most appreciative of little groups efforts.
and we enjoyed your company.
You are all welcome back anytime

Dan, Angel, Adam and Steph... it really was good to have you all there.

We all were able to see some sights that were new to some of us, and rare for all of us. Geoffro, what were those satellites called, that you saw with your bionic eyes? The 3 in perfect sync.

Saw the ISS, saw old familiars in Orion, The Pleiades, managed to bullseye a lacklustre Neptune and a better-looking Uranus.

And the company was good. It was heartening to see everyone being so welcoming to our guests.

Thanks Allan for organising the night. Dew aside, It went very well.

Thanks to everyone who was able to get there.

A big thanks to Allan for organising the night. Very much appreciated the two Apple Charlottes thanks to Allan and Rick and can't forget Geoff's table of food.

Finished it off and had heartburn to prove it.... thanks for the Apple Charlottes, and it was nice to meet new folks and visitors. Yes, and I forgot my Dew Shield too.��
