We are still in the process of debugging the website and have a basic framework up at the moment.

I've emailed Dave with my booking for three.

Hi Petra - looks like a long-lost friend of mine (Nigel Leith) has come back from running a business in Canada for the past 12 years or so to re-settle back in Albury, his old home town! I'm coming to BSG now too - to go to the party and to catch up with Nigel!

I'll book tomorrow

Booked, paid and can't wait.

Thanks for slotting me into the northernmost powered camping site Petra - I'll be right near the new imaging area and a very happy chappy. Great to see Doug and Big Dave coming too to share that area. Should be a hoot. Four nights of astro fun
