Anyone interested in the PC this Saturday?
Weather is looking ok so far but a chilly 4 degrees predicted.

Greg.

Rodstar (Rod) · #2 31-07-2013, 01:28 PM

Yes, I am, and I have a few interested
newbies who are likely starters.

Allan_L (Allan) · #3 31-07-2013, 03:23 PM

Yes I am interested too.

Submitting my interest, will confirm closer to the date.

I really enjoyed my first Pony Club last month and meeting some of you guys. Unfortunately I will be away with work on Saturday otherwise I would be there again. I will just catch you all at Bretti.

I'm also keen to attend this (I'm based in Northern Sydney). This would be my first time at the event and I would need some details regarding location etc! Also let me know whether it is traditional to bring any particular items (besides scope). In the UK the 'Jaffa Cake' was the usual staple.

(Apologies, I just saw the sticky thread with directions)

Shano592 (Shane) · #8 31-07-2013, 10:42 PM

Interested too.

Allan, does that mean we should submit a shopping list to you?

G'day Shane,

I will be in Dallas. I can pick up anything you need, and my commission is very modest

Shano592 (Shane) · #11 01-08-2013, 08:08 AM

Hehe ... I'm ok for this time ...

Enjoy the Lone Star state. I guess you'll have to find a dark site there ... maybe a cockpit at 37000 feet.

Rick Petrie · #12 01-08-2013, 11:50 AM

Definitely interested but not a definite starter as yet. Weather looking promising.

MortonH · #13 01-08-2013, 01:53 PM

Alas, my wife is crook so no observing for me this weekend

osteoblast (Mark) · #14 01-08-2013, 09:39 PM

Thanks for the advice and grid reference Allan (_L), I hope to say thankyou in person on Saturday.

Rodstar (Rod) · #15 02-08-2013, 07:33 PM

Confirming that I will be there with a key (and 2-3 interested visitors) by about 5.45pm. See you all there!

Fizics (John) · #16 02-08-2013, 09:19 PM

I was hoping to make it this month but have a dinner engagement.
Regards to those who know me, I have been overseas for past few months. I am planning on going to Bretti camp next month and the Pony club October then travelling again.

May the skies be clear,
John

RB (Andrew) · #17 03-08-2013, 11:27 AM
