I so want to attend again. I will be at work all through Saturday, however.

I can't remember the last time I was up. Probably the Christmas get-together of 2007?

Does Gaz still attend?

I miss you guys.

Regards,
Humayun

Hi H

i think Gazz has lost his wheels

in fact, haven't seen him online for a while now

hope he is putting the time to good use and finding more colonies of hedgehogs for us to slaughter

I'll second that.

A great night. Not a big roll up, but the company was excellent as usual.

Glad to hear you guys had a good night.

I am surprised you say it was so clear. I set up in the backyard in anticipation of doing a few hours, but by 10pm, I was so frustrated by the wispy cloud cover which dimmed most parts of the sky that I called it a night. The seeing was OK, just crappy transparency, at least from Point Clare!

Perseverance certainly pays off.

General consensus was that conditions would deteriorate sometime after midnight. Instead, as the temperature dropped the seeing just got better as the night made its way into the wee hours of pre-dawn.

So, the original plan of a early wind up ended up watching the sun rise with RB and the Wise (Old) Owl!

Let’s keep the digits crossed for Lostock!!


Cheers
Deeno
