I also have a key. Does that mean I'm the 'Keymaster' (ghostbusters)
Deeno might also have one?
Last time we were up there GTB the wrong key was on the gate.
What to do if this happens again particularly this time of year?
I think you said this would not happen again.

All,

I didn't check last time, but, does the Pony Club have mobile phone reception?

I'm on call for work, and if I receive an alert on my mobile, would have to bail in a hurry, to get online and sort out whatever has gone wrong.

Otherwise, I would definitely love to attend, and, perhaps try and get some star trails without a storm intruding.

Regards,
Humayun

I'd like to come but a bit concerned I'll get hopelessly lost (saw the link, looks like a challenge after the freeway exit). Also worried about dodgy/drunk long weekend drivers!

Anyone prepared to PM me their mobile numbers?

What time is everyone planning to arrive?

Cheers
DSB

Weather is looking awful - http://www.wunderground.com/global/stations/94779.html

Still very keen to join you guys. Really hope the forecast will prove totally wrong. Will someone post up here as to the likelihood of it going forward given the current forecast?

Cheers
DSB

weather looking bad

just looked at the weather channel. http://www.weatherchannel.com.au for mangrove mountain, suggesting shower or two, risk of storms. Tomorrow (sunday) showers cleaing midday.

leaving the storms out of the equations, the last we could possibly expect would be cliudy skies and looking out at present (09:25) it is definitely shaping up to that.

Sure, weather is looking dodgy, however looking at the BOM satellite loops, the current cloud cover is moving eastwards fairly quickly and there is a good patch of clear stuff behind.
This probably means that we will get the showers and thunderstorms this arvo and early evening but may clear a little later in the night.
Judging by last Pony Club night, those that persevered got some great viewing in, later in the night.
Having said this I won't be held responsible if Hewey is unkind to us.
What is everyone else's opinions and hands up all those who still want to meet up and socialize and wait for something to happen ..maybe some New Year cheer and a stogie or two?
