Cambroon! last night before AstroFest!

Next Saturday the 24th is the last observing night at Cambroon before Astrofest at camp Duckadang next month, all the usual things apply Warm Clothes, Warm company, and possibly a cold clear night, so lets have a good turnup and give your scopes a good shakedown before Duckadang.
If you need directions please see this forum, or contact me or Paul (1ponders) .Lets hope for a clear night and so a good turnup Ron

G'day Ron. 'fraid I'll most likely pass next Saturday night. But I'm sure you won't be lonely out there.

I'll bring your books and Bill's books to Duckadang, unless you want me to hold onto them until the next Cambroon

Ron I'm definitely a starter (and finisher) for next Saturday, not sure if Don is travelling with me as he's just started a new job and looks like he will be working until late in the day.

A good mate of mine has expressed some interest in coming along one evening, he's hard to catch on weekends but I'll try and get hold of him, think he'd have a blast too.

Will have to catch you at AstroFest Paul, see you next week Ron!

Ron,
I'll not be able to make it this weekend so I guess I'll see you at Astrofest.
Have a great night.

The weathers still not looking great, but we still have 4 days (always optimistic).

Looks fairly sure Don won't be coming out with me, and my mate is leaving for a 2-3 week trip out to Windorah this week so he won't be tagging along either - so far Ron it's you, Wes (& clan?), Dr Morbius and Mini-Morbius, and myself.

Come on folks anyone else?
