Not long to go indeed! Have you booked the clear skies, Petra?

Hi Patrick, Ive been "clear weather dancing" so cross fingers.

We have started the Border Stargaze CSU event this week - over 500 students from across the region have booked in.

Border Stargaze Wymah - is also on track - over 100 people are booked, distinguished guest speakers on the program, great prizes on offer, vendors market and so much more... all we need now is clear skies.

Okay, blasted weather forecasts 7 days out are showing 3 good days. Hopefully this becomes true. Nice to be able to stand on dry ground for once at BSG, and to see some clear sky.

Hi Petra,

Been attending BSG for a long time. I'm really looking forward to the event. When I use the word above "Blasted", I'm referring to the precision of our weather forecasters - I'm really hoping the clear weather forecasted for next week comes true, as three nights of mostly clear skies would be terrific.

Yes, its great to see familar and new faces at BSG, Im trying not to look at the weather forecast...

Hi all

Its getting very exciting, Border Stargaze (Wymah) 2011 kicks off and guests have already started to arrive.

We have received a flood of enquiries regarding how late we will leave the registrations open. We are more than happy to leave the registration page on our website open until late on Saturday.

As this is our 5th event we have a few surprises planned, so pack the car and come on over.

Cheers Petra d.

Hi Alex
