New Moon observing Central Coast Pony Club....Aug / Sept.

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

Well its time to start planning the date again.

Saturday the 30th August or Saturday the 6th September.

Which is the best for everyone ?

The 6th would be better for me, only that Koolang Observatory sometimes asks me for my volunteer help.... when they are expecting a large crowd to attend. And the 30th is the night they need my help.

i'll be at Border Stargaze on the 30th

so remind me to organise the key (or tell some one how) before the wednesday

Be a bit strange without GTB...might have to be the 6th

[RB (Andrew)]

I should be able.
It'll be great if we could squeeze both dates in.

I'm hanging for another great night.

[Rick Petrie]

I should be OK for either night. Lookin' forward to it.

[RB (Andrew)]

Just wanted to share this one with you.
What chance have we got getting that streetlight turned off for us at night when they don't even turn it off during the day !!!

[iceman (Mike)]

haha nice one.

I'm keen for another meet up. Either date should be fine with me at this stage. I need to get up to Lostock for a visit soon too so I'll just go on the alternate date.

I think the 7th is Father's Day so the 6th could be a problem for some?

Oh yeah I think your correct with that. We cant miss Fathers Day.

Maybe its better we meet this coming weekend then.

Although I will be assisting Kooland Observatory first , till about 10.30 or so, then I will be right along.

Coffee will be absent this trip folks.

Sorry.

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

WELL

just remember to make your minds up early enough to organise the key

i try to email Justine by the wednesday to give her fair warning

geoff

[iceman (Mike)]

hmm yes fathers day, the Sat night before is definitely out for me then.

The weather for this weekend isn't looking crash hot

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

so - since when is fathers day celebrated on SATURDAY NITE ?

if i remember correctly - sat nite is BOY'S NITE OUT !

plenty of time to observe till 4am and get home (by 6am even) for the kids to give you your presents

geoff

[RB (Andrew)]

Yep weather's looking !blah! for this w/e.
I don't mind next weekend.

Either one or both.

[Inmykombi (Geoff)]

So whats the weather doing ?

It will clear.......trust GTB........

[gmbfilter (Geoff)]

I would like to get away both weekends also

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

a few hours ago BOM was saying fine for sat - now they are saying chance of showers

ME - i have no idea at this stage

geoff

[Deeno]

Keen for either and/or both nights

[Rodstar (Rod)]

G'day all! I get back from three weeks in Byron Bay this Sunday, so I can't make it this weekend. The following Saturday night would be fine with me.

May I just make the observation in passing that if it is Father's Day on the 7th, the Saturday night is the ONE night in the year when dad should get to do what DAD wants to do.....ie, come observing. Dad can then decree that He shall sleep in on Sunday morning, and look forward to a hot breakfast being brought to his bed, at an hour that suits in the late morning, with a fresh newspaper and possibly a scantily dressed wife....

Then again, I guess I have been on holidays too long....reality check, Rod.

[GTB_an_Owl (Geoff)]

great thoughts Rod

i couldn't agree more

[gb_astro]

I see ABCTV is forecasting the 30th as a possible clear night.
On the other hand it would certainly be good to see The Mary Rose again.
