Thanks all
We have a good committee and management team in place this year at MAS. Lots of plans in the works.
Ric - you're right. We don't do this to blow our own horns (to be truthful I don't really like personal attention) but to promote our hobby and an interest in astronomy and science within our community. I think that there are fewer and fewer kids and school leavers pursuing science-oriented vocations in modern times. This is a great pity in my mind. We're smarter than that as a nation.
