an update re the ross get together
-------------------------
Hullo Bert,
To try to answer your queries:
1) Brian Leahy, our member who suggested solar observing, plans to start at 3pm; he will arrive before then to setup. Observing will be in the field beside the town hall
2) Phil Watkins, our President, still plans to have a 45 minute general meeting in Ross town hall - 4 pm to 4.45 pm It is debatable how many members of the public might attend this, but this is primarily for AST members.
3) Re accommodation, the AST has not made any bookings, and it is really up to individual members to arrange this if required - as happened at last joint meeting - some southerners stayed in Launceston, others made a late night return trip. One thing we have discovered - there seems nowhere other than the local pub to get a quick evening meal in Ross.
4) On Sep 15, sunset is 5.59pm (in Hobart anyway), so a daylight setup shouldn't be difficult.
Regards, Bob
