Sorry it's not astro gear guys, but it's what we deal in, so I figured, "Better than nothing".
Slight little adjustment there Ken. The units are Water Distillers.

Eric,

No you aren't too late. It would be great to have you along

[bird (Anthony Wesley)]

Ken, just sent you an email, I'd like to come along for the 4 nights. I'd prefer a bunkhouse but I can bring tent if they're all taken.

cheers, Bird

OK Geoff. The camping ground isn't a worry, it's the bunkhouses that definately have to have a booking

Be good to catch up again

[toetoe (Peter)]

As much as we would love to be there again Ken, we have to miss out this time round.
