Unfortunately I had a choice between there and the flinders ranges at the end of september, I couldn't resist going to one of the darkest spots in Australia. So the flinders won, although it would have been nice to meet the guys.
Alright it is getting close now and I need to confirm some numbers, and anyone else who is interested needs to let me know their address. I have received one firm address and will send the map in due course. Please see if you can attend as we would love to see all the SA contigent at the meet. Our first really big one.
So how many do we have as confirmed, and why is September 11 so ****** popular, I have the observing run on the 10th and then on the 11th a luch BBQ and something else which skips my mind. Also had a few other requests for lunch and dinner on the same days.
Are we going to arrange some sort of meet for this year (2006)? I wouldnt mind meeting the people behind the avatars, especially look through their nice scopes hehe. I think the last time it fell through due to bad weather.
Who is going to organise it Andrew? Everytime I try people are busy or cancel. Must be me. If you organise it I will come. Not keen to do the organising this time.
I have not a clue on where to have it, one thing that does come to mind is members nights or public viewing nights at pre arranged venues such as TOOPERANG or Stockport, both these sites seem to be fairly dark, with toop being the darker I think of the two, although this is only going by third hand. I would have it at my place but thats no fun, too much light. I will have a think about it and have a chat to a couple of fellow Astromates.
