hi all

i was just wondering if we should still come along even if the weathers not looking great. If its cloudy/raining will others still be going?

cheers

Hi,

If the weather looks marginal I will not be going.

I don't believe in sitting around "hoping" the clouds will clear.

It's up to you, silwat.

At times we've sat around chatting, other times I've stayed home.

Probably just check the forum before you leave if the weather is marginal and see if people are pulling out.

ving (David) · #45 15-02-2007, 02:30 PM

maybe someone whos going can give him a phome# to call just before to see if its on

that would be organised

I'm looking forward to it, I'm pretty sure I'll bring the girls too.
Also hoping to bring the 12" LX200, so you can take it for a spin Rod.

Sounds great, RB! I miss that LX200 wirring sound at night.

Is there anybody who will be there early we could contact via Mobile??.
Paul Shopis is thinking of bringing his 12" bino from Sydney but we are looking for definite good skies at least to head up there.

Thanks RB

I think Paul would be making a decision about 6pm as he can't stay late.

Cheers
