Tony the Star Fest is on hold for this year, unforunately, for a variety of reasons. But there is nothing stopping us from having a get together for whatever reason.

The best dark nights after May 7th/8th(when I'm in NZ) are from 4th June to 11th June. After that its the weekends of July 2nd to the 9th. I'm looking forward to this weekend anyway as all the visible planets will be in the sky at some point during the night, plus there is a really close conjunction between Mercury, Venus and Saturn from the 25th June to 5th July in the early evening. They will be almost sitting on top of each other.

So lets start planning.

Sorry Bazooka, I've sort of taken off on a tangent here and haven't really helped you for a star night to view some telescopes soon. i'm sure those closer to you will be having a get together sooner than I'm planning.
