Sorry I couldn't make it fellas - the corporate box at the cricket was "well" catered - if you know what I mean

Will definately be at the next gathering and looking forward to the report from Mark

Yep ... its a nice little travel scope, came all the way from the NT with me.
It's small enough to travel as Cabin baggage too !
I would be reluctant to trust baggage handlers with a scope, no matter how well packe it was.
It was a great night (despite the dew )
