Snake Valley Club Night - FEBRUARY 24

Hi all,
The next Snake Valley (SVAA) club night is Friday 24th Feb

Visitors are very welcome to come along to our SVAA Club nights at our own Club site.
Don't worry, we don't hold a 'Meeting'. We Observe/Image.

Because it is our own private property (SEE HERE) feel free to pitch a tent and stay over for the night (or two).

We have a Clubroom if it gets too cold outside.
Kitchen area has Hot Water, Microwave oven, etc.

The next few Club nights are:

- This Friday 24th Feb
- 4 nights of Snake Valley Astro Camp March 23rd - 27th (SEE HERE)
- Club Night April 20th
- Club Night May 18th

Come along

If you need any further dates they can be found HERE

Well after all that and Urnie or not it's looking like it could be a good night Friday so you may well find me up there again Ken, might even be inclined to join the club. Bit of a struggle with those expensive fee structure you got though.
I've got a leave pass and a new USB hub to run everything.
This time though I'll get there before dark, oh and I've even made myself a new red LED torch from one of little alloy ones you get, works a treat.

Ken.

Rowland, FROM Snake Valley?

If you mean how do you find the Club Site from the centre of Snake valley, well that's easy.

From the Snake Valley General Store head south about 500 metres and there is a bridge.
As soon as you cross the bridge it is the first driveway on the right (about 20 metres after the bridge).
There is a sign at the driveway that says:
SNAKE VALLEY
ASTRONOMICAL
OBSERVATORY

Mind you, the Observatories aren't actually built yet.
The Materials to build them are onsite, the slabs laid, etc. But they haven't actually been constructed yet.
We have the Club room and some observing slabs and lots of Observing grassed areas (and power), but no, no actual observatories yet.

The sign is only so people can find us
