All Qld IIS'ers : the Countdown has started

[Gargoyle_Steve]

Howdy folks!
:hi:

Watch this space - there's some great news coming in the next couple of days, something that we've been working on for a while.

Stay Tuned!!!

[spacezebra]

One can only hope that Astrofest - is going to run the event over two weeks - yes! So Borders Stargazers can go.

Only guessing here!

Cheers Petra

[matt]

[Dennis]

Cheers

Dennis

[DaveO]

Mmmmm...very interesting. I'm on the organising committee, and don't know what he's talking about! Maybe Paul was on the right track.:lol:

[h0ughy]

its all a conspiracy! let me guess Steve organised for NASA to launch again just before we get there and have the shuttle and IIS pass over us again like in 05......

Or the kitchen is offering space burgers at 3 am in the morning:whistle: :lol:

[[1ponders]]

We know which two campers will be around at that time to take up the offer, don't we Mr h0ughy;) :D

[Gargoyle_Steve]

Sorry to burst your bubble folks but this is NOTHING to do with Astrofest.
;)

All will be revealed Very Soon.

Keep watching this space ..... :thumbsup:

[h0ughy]

Dennis and his mexican travelling companion Mr g11:rofl: :whistle:

Not I sir, get indigestion when going to bed a 6:whistle:

[[1ponders]]

:lol:

[davewaldo]

Gee Steve! You've got me checking this Thread every few hours or so!

When will we find out?????

[ving]

i am not for qld and even i want to know!

[h0ughy]

righto Steve fess Up or I rip out your eyes and replace them with GSO 500's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

[[1ponders]]

h0ughy, you of all people don't want to know ;)


:whistle:

[davewaldo]

hmmm... I think you know something Paul....

Please someone tell us!

...or maybe at least tell us warmer or colder when we guess, or answer yes or no questions.

I'll start with the first guess/question.

"Does is have anything to do with someone buying or setting up new gear for public (or just IIS) use?"

[[1ponders]]

Hmmmm....define new gear and public use. :D

[Gargoyle_Steve]

Folks we have had 1 last minute glitch that must be sorted out before we can let the cat out of the bag!

I had hoped to have posted an announcements by now and I apologise for this delay, but details will be posted in the next day or so I promise, and it IS exciting news for not only Queenslanders but possibly others as well!

(looking at h0ughy and co ...... ;))


All I can say at this point is - what are you doing in 7 weeks time?
:D

[AstroJunk]

Well I would have been enjoying a nice full moon, had the earth not gotten in the way ...

Am I close?

[spacezebra]

Come on Steve - put us out of our misery

Lets see 7 weeks time, I will be winging my way to the UK - maybe you are all coming with me - yes?

My guess is - remote telescope being set up, to allow access to QLDs night skies - without leaving the keyboard. Close?

Cheers Petra

[h0ughy]

oohhh bit I dooo I doooooo:lol: :help: :P

[AstroJunk]

This reminds me of an old joke:

How do you keep an idiot in suspense..?

[h0ughy]

dont tell them the ending?

[AstroJunk]

...

[Gargoyle_Steve]

Sorry Petra but it's nothing to do with remote access telescopes, and much as I like your creative answer Rod that's not it either.

As soon as this last critical factor is sorted I will spil my guts about it all ASAP ..... I am hoping tomorrow sometime ..... fingers crossed!

[CoombellKid]

Ok I got it, your getting married.... but you haven't had the nerve to ask her yet.

regards,CS

[Argonavis]

Good guess! Robs right. We will have lots of little Steveos running around the observing field!

[Gargoyle_Steve]

(looking around to see where Joy is)

No, that wasn't what I was thinking about ..... :doh: ..... hope she doesn't read this though and get ideas.

:eyepop:

[Argonavis]

the rumours will continue until you relent...

[Argonavis]

just as well :thumbsup:

[Gargoyle_Steve]

You are an evil man William!

[Argonavis]

[Gargoyle_Steve]

The deed is done, the word is out .......

Welcome to the Barambah Dark Sky Camp 2007 (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=22315)

;)

You can thank co-conspirators Paul and Jeanette and (Astro)Ron and Randall (aka Dr Morbius) and Rowena and Tony (Striker) for planning and organising this event, and I assure you that we are working VERY HARD to make this event a success. This has been in planning for a very long time now, and we have always planned for it to be not just a one-of event, but to become an ongoing annual, or even 6 monthly, event.

Read all about it folks!!

[h0ughy]

bugger, now I know what Paul meant. Well i cant go, looks as though I will be limited to only one Star party a year from now on - that will be Qld Astrofest at this stage. I am giving up on SPSP, and depending ISSAC (although I may still have some hope to negotiate this one)

[Odlaw]

Spill the beans Steve,

Pictures I need Pictures...

All the links are not working....

[spacezebra]

So much for seeing you at Border Stargaze :sadeyes: .





Cheers Petra
