Thanks Bartman,

Well the group was an official astronomy club run by a guy that lived on Hamilton Island he moved on and the remainder of the group are still active although we are not official ie no commities or meetings just getting together when we can there are 15 of us. I have taken over looking after the Website using Webs.com as it is free and allows us to get together and know what is happening http://tropicalstargazers.webs.com/ the previous website was a Yahoo one and I didn't like it very much and it was taking a long time for the person running it to accept new members which is the main reason I started the new one. The school sent us an email after finding our web page and asked us to come and see them I think they will be asking us back again we don't charge anything to go to a school it isn't a very regular thing and we enjoy doing it.

Good fun isn't it!! Well done.

BTW I could help but notice the difference in names now compared to when I was at school and 95% of the names were Tom, Mark, Jenny, Sally etc.
