No, you cancelled.

Here is the PM you sent me:

Hi Ken

I'm writing with sad, sad news (mostly, for me). I don't think I'll make it out to the March camp

I was always going to have to go to Echuca on the Saturday night, and now it looks like the planning gods have conspired against me... Could I please un-book for the nights you've got me in for, and if I'm really lucky, I might be able to sneak up and camp on the Sunday (but I'll let you know closer to camp?)

Hope you guys are doing well, and I'm sure the camp will be as much fun, if not more, than normal

Mich

That's why I PM'd you and said you will need to re-book

[mishku]

Hahahaha then I reappeared on one of the lists so wasnt sure

Please, please, accept my booking:

Name: Princess Mish
Number of Nights: 2
Nights: Sunday, Monday
Bunk or Camping: Camping
SNF: No
Excited: Very

BTW, friend gave me a "quick cup" thingy that instantly heats H20 to appropriate tea-drinking temperatures. Would you like it for the SV clubroom??

Im looking at the pile of gear accumulating in the loungeroom and starting to panic it wont fit lol.. last time I went camping I towed a trailer for all the gear and I didnt need to take telescopes. At least I dont have to take all the cooking gear and shower/toilet tent lol.If I get desperate Ill rip a seat out lol but I usually buckle the 8" dob up. Have to keep the "family" safe lol

He lent it to me when my 65 BelAir was stolen.. recovered the car but the blew the engine :-(.. supposed to be saving to rebuild but keep spending money on scopes filters and now astro camps haha. I might have it done in time for the Nov camp.. would be no prob for gear if that was on the road with its 5 body boot lol

[Paddy (Patrick)]

Alas I have to pull out of this one. I seem to have cooked up a kidney stone so I'm not feeling all that flash. I'll miss catching up with everyone.

[barx1963 (Malcolm)]

Thats no good Paddy. Had the solar scope all packed up for a comparison with the ED80!

Hope it gets better soon.
