DEFINITELY OFF for the 30th November

The Pony Club Treasurer just rang me to inform they are using the facilities themselves tonight.

Sorry for Late notice.

Lets see what Saturday 7th December brings ...

Damn its turned out to be a wonderful night up here. Just been out with the binoculars looking at Jupiter, with one bright moon at 10 o'clock, the LMC, SMC and their various clusters, and Orion neb of course. Really wanted to roll the 16" out but i'd have to move the car to get it out. Should have checked abit earlier before I opened the Glenlivit.

On Friday the 6th the moon sets at 21:49; on Saturday the 7th it sets at 22:33. Admittedly this is a very partial moon with first quarter not until the 10th of the month.

As I would have to leave by 10:30pm I would be doubtful for this one.

Hmm!
I could be tempted...
Could be a good chance to share a Christmas spirit or too {bad grammar intended!}
Whether the weather comes to the party, this is the question.
Oh, and Who is bringing Charlotte?


...and my van is back on the road, so i can provide some basic amenities (if the local amenities are again like unobtainium)

Edit:
I have sent an email request to the Secretary Pony Club to ask if the site is available for us this Saturday.
and if we could please have some access to facilities.
As the Pony Club had a Christmas do last week, so
it could be possible the Jump Club may have theirs this week.
Fingers crossed

I followed up my email by an SMS message today.
This was the reply from Club Secretary:
Quote:
Hi Allan
I did get your email and took it to our committee meeting last night for discussion.
Pony Club is not using the grounds this weekend and as far as we know Jump Club aren't there.
We believe the Trust hasn't had a meeting so no update there.
Kerri
[So, no mention of other issues raised, like the light being left on or the toilets being made available]

However,
Weather looks relatively good for Saturday night. (and tonight !)
Crescent moon does not set until about 11:30pm, BUT it is only at 20%.

I am up for the trip, who wants to join me

Just a bit of cumulus around here, nothing to worry about.

I am bringing my BBQ to cook pizza if anyone wants to borrow it.
