Post Eclipse Party

[mishku]

Nettie,

At least two of us (of the three coming along) will be eating, but it's a fair chance all three of us will.

Can't wait to see you all!!

Thanks Chris, we are part of this party of 4.

[bojan]

My better half and I will be there.
Possibly some others, including two friends from overseas.

[iceman (Mike)]

Does the cafe know the influx they're going to get?

[Blaznee (Gary)]

I would love to join the ISS group at the Apres Beach Bar. I won't be having a meal but will partake of a beverage or two
Looking very forward to meeting other IIS'ites.

Since I will be traveling with Eric (thanks Eric) and He has indicated meal than I guess that counts me in too.
Should I presume the meal referred to is lunch?
At least for starters

[erick (Eric)]

Yes Allan, some sort of lunch or afternoon snack. All being well with the traffic (!!) we have about 1 hr 35 min of travelling. Turns out I have a bigger car so can take three passengers down and back, if necessary.

Hi

Although I am fairly new to the site (Don’t even own a telescope yet!), I would love to drop in and meet the members of IIS group after the eclipse, will have a few drinks but will not be eating.

Cheers
Andrew

[gaa_ian (Ian)]

Looking forward to catching up with some old friends !
Thanks for organizing this Nettie :-)

[Jen]

Awesome guys will see you all there

[stanlite (Grady)]

i will try to make it but not probably arriving in cairns till about 4otherwise have fun all

[TheoP (Theo)]

I am here already, too hungry to wait till 1pm.

[ZeroID (Brent)]

How's the party going ?

[Kal (Andrew)]

I ended up crashing the party for a couple of hours

So many IIS people there, and I only met a fraction of the people there. I got to see how many people were there when someone shouted "group photo" and we all migrated outside!

Some stories of near misses, some of misses, while others had perfect conditions, it reinforced how fortunate I was to have the clouds part just before totality!

My final mission before I fly out tomorrow is to buy myself one of those eclipse T-shirts!

Was a great arvo - great to meet you Andrew, also big hugs for jjj, H, Chris, Fred, Jen, Petra, Ron, RobK and more am sure.

Also great to meet in person - Mike, Terry Lovejoy, Les, Mish, Paddy, Grahame, ChrisM, Camilla and more. Camilla was very popular!!!

Hope the group pics turn out well!!

Back up at Mt Carbine and ready for an early night!!!!
