[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

I had a phone call today from one of the Committee mambers who said my written request via formal letter will be duscissed at this weeks meeting.
It was mentioned that there should be no problem with our plans.
The club just needs to sort out a few details to formalise and finalise the matter.
Here is a copy of the letter I sent them recently for their attention.

Dear Committee members,
As you are no doubt aware, there are a few Amateur Astronomers from the Central Coast and surrounding areas, that are keen to try our New Moon observing sessions at your club grounds on Bloodtree Rd Mangrove Mountain.
Your club seems to offer better / darker skies and better horizons than our current observing site at the Pony Club on Wisemans Ferry Rd.
After some discussion with the interested people, we are happy to pay your club $5.00 per person for using your facilities each night we attend the club grounds.

If possible, we would hope a committee member could attend our first night to show us “ the ropes” and to inform us of the do’s and don’ts associated with your club house and grounds.
It would also be good for us to meet with your caretaker and get a contact phone number or email address, so we can inform you or him / her of our intended visits in advance.
We usually meet once a month near the new Moon which gives us the darkest skies on which to observe.

We would also like extend an invitation to any and all of your club members who may be interested in looking through Telescopes at the night sky. We have some of the most advanced telescopes and equipment available to amateurs, and we would be more than happy to make it available if you wish to do so.

Thanks you for this opportunity to use you facilities, and I will await your reply before I fix a date in February for our possible first visit.


Best Regards

Keep your eyes here for more updates.

Thanks to everyone for your patience in this matter, its been a bit of a while since I first mentioned over a year ago, but hopefull it'll be worthwhile.

Geoffro.
