Sorry folks I won't be able to make it either weekend (business travel)...I'll need to re-apply for membership. But I'm not keen to go through the initiation ceremony again!

I would love to do both weekends too.

I cant pick up the key this Saturday though, as I will be arriving too late.

Also, everyone will have to excuse my lights driving in at the late hour.
I will try to drive in with the Parkers only, but just be aware in case you are imaging.

Fingers crossed for the Weather.

It ain't looking real good weatherwise for tomorrow night at the PC.
I guess it's because our guru weather cock (owl) has gone south for the winter to the BSG. But we live in hope!!!

It looks like it cold be a mixed night, but as long as there are a few patches of clear sky i'm happy.

Weather was beautiful last night.. predictions aren't good for tonight. I'll be keeping an eye on the sky and will be there around 7:30-8pm if it's clear.
