Any one planning some observing next weekend (23/9)? I am keen, but I don't have a scope! Another trip to Kulnura would be very welcome for me as I missed out last night. I'll have the kids with me because Nina is at another conference.

I'll be there next weekend, weather permitting. I also missed out last night so I'll be there with bells on.

I'll bring Eliza and Jacob to play with your 3.

Mike and Rod, we missed your company on Saturday night.
There will be no excuse for your absence this week, even if it's raining.....

I felt silly sitting there smoking them all by myself last Saturday Rod.



You're on for this Saturday.

We can smoke out Mike's scope, testing for those bad tube currents, and revealing the boundry layer.

I'd better bring some decent port, in that case, RB. See you there.

I'll be along this weekend. It has been far too long since I have attended one. I just hope I can remember the way
I'll see if I can get my hands on some Hedgehogs.

subtle ways of getting people to turn up eh! Mike

you will have to get a leave pass now to find out Dave

unless someone pipes up and lets us people that have not sampled a hedgehog before, know what it is

does it go well with BEER?

Its probably a good thing you guys all live in the central coast and dont read MX the free news paper they give out at Central Station..the hedgehog reminded me of a story in the "what in the weird" section from earlier this week

no dont ask this is a family forum

Please try to make it Scott....as I am morphing into a truss dob man, I need a hit of truss-dob.

BTW, it would be good to catch up with you, too!

Hedgehogs and beer go hand in hand. Just like carrots and peas (Forrest Gump) I wont get there until very late as the Newcastle Jets are playing at home that night. What time are you all thinking of staying to? Because I won't make it until well past 11 pm.

3:00am at least, would be a good bet if the weather is good i would think
it's pretty hard to get RB home early
well at least till he has finished his cigars
bring an extra box with you if you want to keep him there cause Rod said he would help him smoke them this week

Great I will try and not ruin everyones night vision when I get there. The hedgehogs are on the to get list for today. I don't think I will be bringing my scope though. Don't know if I can trust the Newcastle public to leave it alone sitting in the car for 4 odd hours. Jillian has her P-plates now and she is going to the game with me. If I can talk her into driving me I might bring the scope as she has a station wagon so there would be plenty of room to put the chair
