Looks like I'm out.
Completely overcast here in Sydney.
It's nights like these you really miss that club house.
Somewhere to watch the pies warm up while you wait to see what the weather is going to do.

Ok - guys, I guess there's optimism and then there is madness.......

Let's pull the plug on tonight.

I will polish off the bottle of Bordeaux red we started at lunch. A votre sante!

yes.
I was still 50 50 ...but
The clouds look pretty thick.
And the BOM radar looks threatening.
7timer says it may clear, but probably not until 4
The moon will of course be up by then.

and with no clubhouse access, as GB said

If it improves drastically in next half hour or so, maybe

Hi Allan, it is still 100% cloud cover at Point Clare. I am definitely NOT a starter.

Just arrived home.
Weather looks dubious at best.
And there are still storms still brewing to the west according to the radar.

Fingers crossed for next weekend?

Fingers crossed. Bretti is out for me, so I'm counting on something good on the Mountain.

So far, good news on 7-timer.

Geoff, I was keen but agree that Sat might be clouded out early.
Tonight is looking pretty good.
Anyone interested?

Greg.

I cant get there till 9 and only have the BT100s at the moment.
If no keyholder turns up I will park at the gate and walk in.

Will bring Denks anyway.

Joe im not quite sure but there is a track just along the southern boundry of the pony club.
I think the gate is somewhere along it.

yes Greg/Joe

the side gate can be accessed from the private driveway next door

its about as far down as the road at the back of the pony club where we turn to come back onto the field

Thanks Geoff, we found it.
Only us two.
Quite a good night.
Not a cloud.
Bit of dew though.
Saturn looking good.

Greg.
