Barb & David,

Good News!
I rang the owner of the Camp and explained your situation, and that your dogs are obedience trained etc etc, and he said that because our groups at the Previous Camps have been excellent and he has never had a problem with us, he will allow you to bring your 2 dogs!

But that doesn't mean everyone should start bringing their dogs along

I'd love to take mine to Camp, but they are fine at home.

Tamtarn · #22 18-08-2006, 03:24 PM

We can't believe you went to so much trouble for us Ken we really appreciate it.

One of our dogs needs special medication daily so we can't travel without her so it means a lot to us to be able to bring them with us. We look forward to catching up with everyone and experiencing the great dark skies of Snake Valley.

Will you please pass on our sincere thanks to the camp owner for doing this special favour for us.

Barb & David

Hi Ken, and everyone. I'll be coming for the 4 nights, could you please book me into a bunkhouse if there is still room? It will be good to catch up with everyone again.

Thanks,

Bird

I am starting to get PM's from some of you asking how to pay for Camp.

This year to simplify matters for the organisers, Darren (Wombat_In_Space) will be collecting the Camp fees.

You can PM him and he will supply the banking details or any other payment methods available.

Obviously we prefer fees to be paid as soon as possible so we can confirm & allocate spaces.

Thank You

Hi guys,
I have talked my partner into coming along so can I please book a campsite for the Friday and Saturday night for myself, partner (Michael), 6 year old (Chloe) and 3 year old (Aiden).
Looking forward to another fantastic weekend, though this time I had to convince my partner that I wouldn't be too tired to do family stuff during the day

Could you please pm me the info on how to pay the fees.
Thanks,
Jodie

ballaratdragons (Ken) · #31 28-08-2006, 03:54 PM

Hi Jodie,

Excellent that you are all coming this year!

As for payment of fees, see the post above yours. Darren is collecting fees.

I have marked you down for a campsite.
How many (and which) nights are you booking for, and will you be booking in for the Saturday night feed?

mick pinner · #32 28-08-2006, 07:14 PM

Hi all,

Last year this event was a great success. I’m a little surprised not as many as one would think want to come along. You can learn more in 4 days at this event than a year on forums. If time is a problem try to get there just for the Saturday and Sunday, will be worth your time.
Because its hands on you get a real feel for what’s good and not good about scopes etc.

Last year I ran a few what constellations is that in the sky.
These helped many people and I can do that again if required.
You can have many discussions on what you may or mite not like in a scope or eyepiece.

If someone wants a work shop on anything astronomical please ask and we can see what we can do.

Many thanks again to ken and this year Darren for organizing this event.

There many IIS members from Victoria now so people come along and make it as great a weekend as you can.

Regards.

I notice some people have paid up already. Darren, have you worked out the cost yet?

Starkler (Geoff) · #39 08-09-2006, 05:08 PM

I plan to pop up for a couple of days. Which days will be dependant on the weather forecast

I agree with Dave's sentiments entirely. Unfortunately I and Anna cannot make it because we are going to Little Desert this year but if it wasn't for that, we would be there with bells on and helping with the organisation.

So for those Victorian and South Australian members for that matter any members that aren't doing anything, do yourself a favour and get there.

You won't be disappointed.
