OK, it's in the diary! Cross fingers time permits!

To be good sports, this year we have set the Snake Valley Astronomy Camp on a separate weekend to Vicsouth, so we aren't stepping on each others toes again. And to be fair, they have been going longer than we have, so we changed the date of ours.

This way people can attend both if they want to.

I will have to keep bumping this thread back onto the from page, as it is being lost once it reaches the bottom of the page.

Forgot to ask Campsite or bunkhouse ?

Wombat_In_Space (Darren) · #18 12-10-2008, 09:26 AM

NOTICE
Not everyone attending Camp in Nov has stated whether they are wanting a Bunkhouse or are setting up a tent.

I need to know (from those who haven't already specified) so we can start allocating bunkhouses before they all run out.

Also, I need to know which nights you will be staying.

Fri?

Fri & Sat?

Sat & Sun & Mon?

All 4 night?

Etc.

Please tell me in here. Thanks all.

Eric, yes, Angelina has managed to re-arrange the schedule so she can come too!!

So, Darren - please add Angelina to your list as well as me and we'll be there Friday to Sunday nights (I might also sneak in Monday night), the feast for both of us, and if possible we'll have our usual Hilton suite - bunkhouse number 1!!!

Can't wait - here's hoping for clear skies
