Pony Club 9/16 March

Having car problems myself so cannot make the 9th.
With half the regulars away I think that leaves only Shane and Rod with keys.
Forecast is for cloud though at the moment.

The 16th is a possibility. The moon will not set until about 21.40 but
I am sure the Chaffey Dam expedition will keep us entertained until then.

Greg.

Hi there!

Hey Greg

I am new to the astro world and live on the central coast too. I've been chatting with other locals too so thought I'd stop by and say hello!
I have been really looking forward to the pony club meeting this Saturday night (9th) so if there is any one else keen to go of love to drop by and say hi. Hopefully there is a confirmation in whether the PC meeting is in or not! Are you off to chaffey dam too?

Cassie

Cassie, always good to have a new face (or voice) in the group.
Check back tomorrow to see if anything is happening.

Greg.

Sorry Cassie and John, looks like no key holders present.
Forecast is for cloud all night anyway.
Maybe see you both next week.

Greg.

I guess it's timely for a roll call for Saturday night.
What's the general consensus.

Pie in the Sky

I am planning on going tonight.
Watching the weather.
Watching this thread.
Hmm! I'd better go and get an Apple Charlotte.
So it won't be a total disaster.

Worth a shot.
Be there about 6.30.
Transport problems so can only bring the 8".
