That's great Humayun,

but you have to let us know which one: 'Bunkhouse' or 'Camping'.
Your answer 'no' tells us: "no, I don't want either, I'll be staying elsewhere for accomodation".
Is that correct?

Octane (Humayun) · #5 22-11-2009, 06:18 PM

Oops, sorry, Ken. LOL. That was supposed to be for the feast.

I'll be bunkhousing, but, I'll get back to you (might be sharing).

Regards,
Humayun

Octane (Humayun) · #13 25-11-2009, 12:20 AM

lol, Jen. Care to explain the woodcutting?

I think I can forgive him for any woodcutting activities -- he helped me out with so many little bits and pieces at Border Stargaze, so I could hook up both my scopes to my mount.

Regards,
Humayun

Paddy (Patrick) · #14 25-11-2009, 11:22 AM

I think she means certain auditory activities arising from the upper respiratory tract during sleep. Ear plugs always a good idea.

Hagar (Doug) · #15 25-11-2009, 11:40 AM

You people are terrible. I don't snore. John must be guilty and wake himself up. No wood cutting for me. Full blown Cat excavator. I promise I wont have a drink and if the skies are clear I will be up all night anyway.

It's not snoring that would concern me, more the leprechaun outfit! Leprechauns are known to be mischievous, and what would one your size get up to, Doug?

Hi Jeff.

Thanks for booking in, but there are a few things I have failed to mention above that have been posted in previous Camp notices.

Mainly this one which may affect you:

*Please note, Bunkhouses CANNOT be booked for only one night only.
We have previously lost bookings due to bunkhouses being used for only one night when people wanted to book them for 3 or 4 nights and couldn't because of the 'one night' stayer booking it first. Exeptions are accepted if you are in a shared bunkhouse with others staying more than one night.
Alternatively, the Campsite is available for one night if that's all you can stay.

Sorry to spring the Bunkhouse rule on you. I keep forgetting that new people aren't aware of these matters.

And one that must now unfortunately be enforced due to events happening at the last 2 Camps:

*Alcohol is allowed, but 'Drunkeness' will not be tolerated. Offenders will be asked to leave.

Snake Valley Astronomy Camps are fun, low key social events. A white light ban is in force (as expected), but due to the nature of our Camps, imagers and observers are all mixed in together having a great social astronomy experience. Visual observers that may be offended by some stray Laptop light may be affected.

The fee for the Saturday Night Feast goes to the local CFA.
