I really like the Pony club facilities.. with the sheet over those neighbouring lights, there was only 1 street-light (and the passing cars) that were remotely annoying, and they weren't even that annoying to me.

I look forward to meeting up there again in November!

Thanks everyone for had a great night, your generosity in letting me look through your scopes is much appreciated.
And a special message to Rod…I went for a drive around and have found what could only be “The Mirror Cover of the Mary Rose” ……..its safe and sound in Yarramalong Let me know what you would like me to do with it

Rod will be pleased Geoff

BUT you should first have asked how much the reward was for finding it

By the way, when John Bambury heard the story, he informed me that the same thing happened about 8 weeks ago to Andrew Murrell with the lid to the 25" Obsession.

Apparently Andrew called up the bloke whose place he had been observing at (about 1 hour from his home), and that bloke, who was driving between his home and the Central Coast pulled over to take the call. By rare twist of fate, upon being told about the missing lid, the bloke looked out the window of his car, and there was the lid, not 20 feet from his car. Talk about remarkable co-incidence.

Shades of Tolkein, and the ring that wanted to be found...

This is getting a bit strange
Lid was on Peats Ridge Rd (old fwy) just around corner from George Downes Dr
It only has a couple of dings should be fine

Rod the lids aren't hard to make if it is damaged but I'm glad yours was found.
