Unfortunately I have family commitments that require me to be back in Newcastle so we will be leaving very early on the Saturday and have to miss out on the group photo, the raffles and the dinner and challenging for the counter weight toss and the vendor sales (sniff, sniff). I am hoping that we can slip up there one day earlier – I am yet to discuss those terms with the boss but I am hopeful that we may try to get there on the Friday night 14th August. Might have to ask for a refund on the Saturday activities, photo and dinner, though I will be purchasing some tickets for the raffle – might have to ask some caring individual if they will pick up the wining prize for me LOL.
I am so looking forward to this trip.
Alan, I know that this retirement is a tad early but I wish you all the best for the future, and what a better way to do that then to celebrate with a weeks worth of photon collecting at Astrofest.
After this trip I will be building the observatory
