Lostock:New moon in April

Instead of going to pony club in April i have booked to have the Lostock Scout camp 'top house". If anybody is interested the can give me a call on 0411438858 for particulars. (it works out very cheap).

Have the place from Friday morning (24th) to Sunday afternoon (26th) unfortunately i will be missing the anzac march but have to get priorities right.

Easy access for Central Coast // Hunter Valley (upper and lower) Astro people

I am in Arthur.
One person.......me.

Good work in organising the times etc.

I'll pencil it into my Diary for those dates.

Its as cheap as chips and it'll be a great weekend away under the stars.

PS. we could always have our own private Dawn Service.

Not a lot of commitment from anyone so far Arthur.

It would be great to get a few of the regulars and the new members that visit the Pony club to come along.

Come on all you folks. how about it ?
Its a great opportunity to get away under a dark sky.

Geoffro.

I'd love to, but just won't be able to get away especially considering the month after i'm off to SPSP.

Hope you have clear skies!

Hi Arthur.

"is it a problem being school hols?"

No, school holidays are better for me.
I just did not realise that they were on at this time.

Hi Arthur,
Looks like only 3 or 4 innterested parties at present, including you and me.

A small group could be good. We can have more photons per person.

We should ask for a headcount to confirm I guess.

Geoffro.

i have another mate who live on CC who is a bit of a "silent key" when it comes to astronomy. He may be coming up if he is not on call for work and bring his LX200 gps (12") which has only been out of the box 2 or 3 times.

I will warn him about how to watch for spiders and he removes the spider webs from the carton.

I would like to go but cannot confirm until closer to the date.
IIS2008 Lostock was all clouded out. I would like another shot at it.
