Qld, thank you for the suggestion of Wiruna. It certainly is an option for many folks. For me, and some others, Wiruna is just that bit too far. Katoomba Airfield offers a convienence of proximaty and sky quality that suits our needs.
I would like to visit Wiruna though. It's Scott Mellish stomping ground, and I'd really like to join him while he's on a sketching session! I'd also like to come to SPSP there too. Hopefully next year.
The good news is that the any liability issues at the Airfield have been resolved. I sought legal advise, and the solution is I require to have attendees sign a release form, which absolves me, as the organiser of the meet, from any loss, damage or harm experienced by the attendees.
These are the types of forms typically found at many types of public events.
Alas it has come to this. I apologise if this measure offends anybody.
Now, if the clouds behave on the 30'th,

As always, everyone is welcome to join us. Scope or no scope, experienced or novice, young and old.
The site is completely BYO everything- power, gear, food, drink, etc.
There are loos for the ladies and kiddies.
We are also welcome to use the office building to sleep if the night becomes a late one,

Torch light is the only light that is available. Red light at that too! If this is your first visit, you can make a mask for your torch with two or three layers of red cellophane over the torch face. Cheap and easy.
Parking is no issue- it's an airfield! See the pics.
Hopefully we'll see you there.
Mental.
