Border Stargaze 2013 (Year 7)

[The Unbeliever]

Greetings all,

I have the pleasure of announcing that Border Stargaze 2013 is now open for registrations.

Border Stargaze 2013 will be held at our regular location at Wymah now known as the Great Aussie Holiday Park located 30 minutes North of Albury. While our adult registration fee is unchanged there has been a very minor increase in the accommodation rates.

The event will be held from Wednesday 4th to Sunday 8th September 2013 (4 nights) you can however book a longer stay. I hope the move to September will give us more observing nights.

If you require assistance completing our online registration form please do not hesitate in contacting me at borderstargaze@iprimus.com.au

We will be continuing our partnership with Charles Sturt University during National Science Week as we host our 7th annual outreach program for primary and secondary schools in our region and continue with the popular ‘Science Fair’. The outreach program and Science Fair will be held with the support of staff and students at Charles Sturt University, Thurgoona (Albury).

To register for the Border Stargaze at WYMAH visit our website at asaw.org.au or simply follow the link http://www.asaw.org.au/

In response to the feedback we received post BSG 2012 we have continued to provide dates for longer stays, sending an email to all past guests, booked terrific weather, Brownie (outback catering) and Miles. Brownie and his crew will be catering for the Sunday morning free breakfast for registered guests courtesy of ASAW as a thank you for not only supporting a terrific event but being a part of our annual community outreach program.

Hi Everyone

Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond our control the ASAW are cancelling this years Border Stargaze.

Over the next few months we will take this opportunity to revamp our program.

We will return in 2014!

Many thanks to all those that have already booked, I do apologise for any inconvenience caused. I will ensure that a full refund is on its way to you early next week.

Kind Regards

Dave Chandler

Thats a shame, was really looking forward to it (Especially after SV was also canned earlier this year). Anyhow look forward to a new and improved 2014 event.

[spacezebra (Petra)]

Its very sad but it will give us some breathing room to revamp the event and website for 2014.

The Science Fair that we run in cooperation with Charles Sturt Uni has grown well beyond our expectations and having both events so close (within days of each other) is a challenge on so many levels.

So, keep an eye on the forum - Border Stargaze 2014, will be back!

Cheers Petra d.

What a shame I just logged on to book wasn't sure if I could make before, ah well plenty of time to schedule in for the next one.....

Hi Chris

The Charles Sturt uni side of Border Stargaze has gone beyond our expectations - so something had to give (only a small society). We also now have more flexibility of choosing what time of year BSG Wymah will be run - so hopefully we can move a little bit away from wetter part of the year and not so close to the Charles Sturt event.

Back in 2014

Cheers Petra d.
