Hi JJJ,

I am happy that the school had a change of heart. I am setting up scopes at my Son's school on the 6th. If the weather holds over 600 people will get to take part in this event. The SolarScope, a projection scope that was won by the school should be presented by a Surveyor next week.
There seems to be a bit of excitement building up on IIS.
