Hi Mike,

Thanks for the updated agenda. That is one great line-up!

Special thanks to Ian and Remus for their presentations which I am sure
we are all looking forward to.

Best Regards

The program looks fantastic, thanks to Mike and all of those kind volunteers giving up their time to speak about their respective interests. It caters for a whole range of interests, meaning that I imagine everyone will be interested in some of the talks!

Mike, I notice that there is no official spot in the program for vendors. Given that some astro vendors have been good enough to donate lucky door prizes, I wonder if they would like a chance to sell their wares, like Bintel did last year?

Also, given the volume of trade we see in the BUY & SELL category of the forum, might it be worthwhile having a sell and swap meet which everyone can participate in as well?

Hi Rod.

You're right, it's not in the agenda but the vendor stalls will be on Friday and Saturday morning from 8:30am - 10am (roughly).

Wildcard Innovations, Bintel, Astro Optical and Astronomy Online will be there in their capacity as vendors with some goodies to sell.

The same time can also be used for the Shop & Swap meet for participants to sell some 2nd hand goods.

I'll update the agenda today. (bugger, after I just printed out 100 copies to give to people when they arrive )

Thanks for the reminder.

[iceman (Mike)]

Just a reminder, make sure you bring your own chair!

There's some bench seating around the undercover area, but don't rely on it!

will mobiles work at Lostock?

[iceman (Mike)]

Sure Mick, if it'll fit.

Narayan, GSM = no. 3G = no. CDMA = yes, sometimes, at the top of the hill.

Those on GSM will need to go into Gresford to get coverage.

Does anyone know the phone number of the bottom house - there's a reference to it being able to take incoming calls in case of emergency but I can't find the number anywhere in the information - I'm probably just being dumb! I would like to leave it with the family JIC.

Thanks,
Graham
