Pony Club New Moon in June

[Arthur Alchin]

New moon in June is 12th: saturday night. Unfortunatelt I am working that night so is anybody interested in the PC on the sunday night.

I know that some will probably go the sat night but this request is a bit unusual (probably not good for those working monday morning).

Only need a key holder for the sunday night

[Rhino1980]

I'll probably have to give that one a miss mate.

[GTB_an_Owl]

given that that is the LONG WEEKEND and many people will be AWAY

might we consider the week before or after ?

geoff

[gmbfilter]

Either, or!

[Inmykombi]

Saturday night is OK by me.
I cant do the week before or the week after or the Sunday.
Sorry Arthur....

I.m in for Sat night....

[Arthur Alchin]

might have to try and do a roster swap or worse still might have to take a >>>>>>!

[Rick Petrie]

I'm good for all or nothing (no comments!). :P
Maybe good for something?:)

[RB]

I haven't been very active on IIS lately due to work and family matters.

Would love to catch up with everyone, I'll try and make it whenever you guys organise it.

:)

[Rick Petrie]

It'll be good to catch up RB as I have a stash of stogies I got while in USA and that you might like to partake? Maybe do some viewing as well!!!:thumbsup:
It sure has been a while...do you still look like your avatar portrays?? :question:
Cheers:)

[RB]

Mate, I would love to catch up with you, I've missed your company.....and I'd love to partake in a nice stogie from Uncle Sam. ;)

LOL, My avatar is so outdated Rick, I've aged and ripened and nowhere near as scary as that (at least I don't think so :question:).

:lol:

[GTB_an_Owl]

at this stage i am away in coffs for the long weekend :sad:

[Allan_L]

Saturday 12th looks good.
Sunday maybe
I have a key

are there any jambouries etc planned at PC for that long weekend?

subject to change of weather

[sfrost]

Hey guys, I would go up for this but I have to take a friend out for her birthday. :)

[Allan_L]

Long Range Forcast still looks good for this Saturday night. :)
Looks like being a small turnout.
Sunday is still under consideration, if there are any definite starters.
(being a long weekend, Monday could be the day of R&R)

[Inmykombi]

I am in for Saturday night unless this newly acquired sore throat gets any worse.
I have presecribed myself lots of warm cuppas with honey ( with maybe a smidge of Rum ), so hopefully I can knock it on the head.

[Shano592]

Hot honey & lemon, Geoffro. And the occasional rum & rum, I suppose.

Love to be there, but a loooooooooooooooooooong way away for the next 2 months.

[Allan_L]

Hi Geoffro,
Sorry to hear you're "bugged".

Magic antidote to a sore throat (if caught early enough):
1. Gargle with listerine (or similar)
2. Suck a zinc tablet (or losenge)

Throat will be as new within 12 hours (in most cases).

In extreme cases, repeat steps 1 to 2 next day.

Its Magic and has never failed to work (on me anyway).

Hope to see you there Saturday night. :)

[GTB_an_Owl]

just emailed Justine to see if pony club has anything on this weekend

i WILL NOT be there - going to coffs harbour - have to deliver a wench/ i mean a winch to my son inlaw

take your own red buckets Al

besides - i am yet to knock all the dents out of the scope

geoff

[jakob]

Just re-collimate! :D

(Just kidding, sorry you damaged your scope !)

[GTB_an_Owl]

message back from Justine

Hi Geoff

That should be fine. Hope the weather is good for you. Pony Club will be holding events on the weekends of the 19th and 20th of June and 26th and 27th of June with people and horses staying over, so these probably aren't suitable for you.

[Deeno]

Looking forward to a night out with the scope. Saturday or Sunday is good for me!

[Inmykombi]

Good to hear from you again Deeno.
We all were getting worried :question:

Hope to see you there Saturday.

Geoffro.

[norm]

My wife is telling me to go....so what does this imply?

Should be there !:lol:

Cheers, Norm

[Arthur Alchin]

anybody interested in sunday night, although i don't have a key (saturday is a working one for me)?

[Rick Petrie]

Locked in. Now all we need is some clear stuff.
We will need to rig for very cold conditions me thinks.
Cheers

[Inmykombi]

Sorry Arthur, I cant do Sunday night as I am working Monday.:(

[sasup]

hope to be there by 4:00. Im picking up my new 16" mirror today very jazzed.:D:D:D:D I have been waiting for five months. ota on the way as well. Still looking for a good EQ mount.

[RB]

I won't be able to get there till around 10pm or maybe later.
Hopefully I can get there earlier but not sure.

Hope to catch up with everyone tonight.

Rug up, it's freezing up here.

:cold:

[Rick Petrie]

Good to see ya RB. Definitely freezer suit material.:)
PS. Bring you stogie cutter.;)

[sasup]

Hey guys ill be going to the blue mountains tonight as the mirror I need to pick up is out west.

[Inmykombi]

Dont know if I should come up tonight. This flu is getting worse.

I'll keep an eye on the weather and make a decision soon.

Geoffro.

[Allan_L]

on my way

[Allan_L]

A review of proceedings, mainly for the benefit of absent friends:

A small band of intrepid members turned up.
In order of arrival
Deeno
Allan_L
Rickapoody
Inmykombie
Dave (friend of Deeno)
Joe
RB.

The sky was nice and dark sporadically. (RB's word of the day)
The air was still and dry (until after midnight)
Clouds were rare and occasional.

Until Joe turned up, the night was quiet (Both Geoff and myself leaving our coffee grinders at home.

Oh, but then there were the "other" noises.
Between the general bowel disfunctions, the canned "disfunction" machine, and the talented digeridoo attempts, well lets just say it was hard to tell the difference most of the time, to the amusement of all unfortionate enough to be within "striking" distance.
Fun and laughter were the winners.

The binocular telescope performed well and provided nice clear wide field views to an increasing audience.

Rick's DOB was the main power in viewing - thanks Rick for all the nice views :thumbsup:

It was good to catch up with everyone again.
Hoping for a bigger turn up next time.

Thanks for reading

[GTB_an_Owl]

binocular telescope ? - strange noises ?

what have i missed ?

geoff

[Inmykombi]

I am sure Allan means the Bt100's that gave beautiful widefield views.

As for the noises, a little battery powered machine ( similar to Arthurs at lostock ) was in use during the night.:P

Apart from that you missed some Chivas Regal, meat pies and some laughs.

I am glad I made the treck with Rick who offered to be the driver and kept me out till the "wee" hours.


Too bad there isnt two New Moons evry month I reckon.

Thx.

geoffro.

[Allan_L]

[QUOTE=GTB_an_Owl;603686]binocular telescope ? /QUOTE]

You have looked through my BT100 Geoff.
BT.... Binocular Telescope !

[jakob]

Sorry imissed it.
I joined an Campervan camp at Londonderry wuth my wife.

I did get to look at Saturn and Omega Cen with my ED 80 but is not what I'm used to.

Until next time, J.

[Rick Petrie]

Nutha noice noit again.:)
Being a long weekend, it was only a few of the regular band of diehards who rocked up, but well worth it.
Good to catch up with RB and Deeno again along with Allan, Geoff and Joe.
Nice to meet Dave (friend of Deeno) who braved the cold until quite late.
Thanks to Al for those choice pies. Came in real handy for the cold and warmed up the cockles. Lovely Chivas too Geoff, Ta.
Loved your new 'remote' Geoff. It definitely 'blew' the silence away and with so many 'variations' in effects. How was the serenity?????!!!!!
Cheers until next one.:thumbsup:
