Pony Club 6th April

Hi all.
Any interest for next Saturday night?
The moon is up late so plenty of time to brush up on any equipment issues before IISAC.
Not sure about weather at this stage but we should look a day or two beforehand. Temperatures getting much cooler at night from now on.
Come on Phil you want to get that 'Wild Thing' out to show us.

Hi Rick,
I was hoping someone would suggest this Saturday.
I have booked my van in for some body work (rust cut out) from Tuesday, so hope it is back in time. Perhaps weather dependant.
But as now I am minding Danack's van too, I should be OK.
I still cannot believe no one from IIS offered to look after it for him.
So much for helpful friendly. So now I have two vans parked in front of my house.

Arthur ?

Actually, I am staring to get more than just a little j@cked off at the PC not allowing us access to THEIR facilities.
Any chance we can check out Arthur's proposed alternate site?
Or any other site with facilities (ie toilet)

I'm keen.
I wonder if the PC grass has been cut.
It was pretty long last month.
Greg.

6th not good

Unfortunately 6th not good for me due to prior engagement but will speak with Sharon about the 12th or 13th if you like. She is willing and enthusiastic.

What do you think? I know that is the IIS weekend but there are a few of us not going for various reasons. We might have to get up there earlier in the afternoon to Sus out the place out but it sounds good

The 6th is out for me, but can do the 12th or 13th. Really keen to try out a new ep and can now drive my scope using the iPad or iPhone.

If the weather holds, then the 6th is good for me. So far though ... not a super forecast.

Off to China on the 10th, so this is my last window for the month.

If the grass situation is desperate, I may be persuaded to bring the mower monster, to carve out a few alien patterns in the grass.

Looks like a no go from Sydney.
Rain and cloud all morning here.
It's supposed to clear a bit but with still a chance of thunderstorms.

Reluctantly I am going to pull out as well Greg, as cloud and occasional rain persisting here, and likely to continue until late, and according to the weather forecast also.
Dam shame however, but there is always next time. baaahhumbug!!!!!
