James,
G'day.
That is what I did in 2009. Didn't even own a telescope - went to have a look at the different scopes available. Didn't know anyone there. Stayed for two nights. Met a lot of people happy for me to look through their scopes and share their knowledge. Got an amazing sky tour from GlenC (Star Hopper) on the Saturday night which set the course for my journey into Amateur Astronomy.
Came home wishing I had planned for more than just two nights camping out.
See you there.
Cheers.
