Looks like a nice situation. At this stage Bass Strait and work commitments say no.

I am very pleased to announce that Wildcard Innovations are the first sponsors for the event, with the donation of the fantastic Argo Navis Digital Telescope Computer, valued at AU$599, as a prize.

It will either form part of a lucky door prize or raffle, to be determined.

Many thanks to Gary and Mai from Wildcard for their generous sponsorship of the IceInSpace Astrofest 2006 at Lostock.

I'm also pleased to announce that Gary and Mai will be presenters on one of the days (agenda to be determined), to give a talk about the history of Wildcard, the development of Argo Navis etc. They will also be in attendance as vendors, for the vendor stalls/swap meet.

And last but not least, they'll be there as amateur astronomers, hoping for some clear skies to get some observing in!

Thanks once again to Wildcard-Innovations.

Another update: I'm working on a booking page for the Astrofest this week, so that you can book your spot at the star party!

More details when they come to hand.

That is fantastic news about the Argonavis lucky door prize! Gary and Mai deserve a very big pat on the back (or bottle of Moet!). I keep hearing how great the Argonavis is.

I'll be coming, the whole time (is that 3 nights?). I'll need a bed to sleep in during the daytime :-)

If I can squeeze it into the car I'll bring the new 13", otherwise I'll bring the good ole 10".

And...err.. the other bits and pieces as well :-)

that's fantastic!

[iceman (Mike)]

Great to hear, Anthony! And yes, 3 nights.

I'm hoping to have an info page + booking page up on the site by the end of the week. I'll just have to tell my boss there's more important things to do than.. say.. work!

Speaking as a boss, wash your mouth out, Mike.

Iceman,

The Argo Navis should be raffled, you can make more money to offset the cost of the weekend, and pay the bills.

Maybe next year, but we can't change the rules for this year, now that people have paid up to come with the understanding it is a lucky door prize!

[iceman (Mike)]

Thanks for the thought Mike, but as Rod says it's a great gesture on behalf of Wildcard Innovations to donate an AN as a door prize!

Now i'm going to lock this thread because it's the old one! Reply to the sticky one!
