Pony Club - August 2009
I'm not too sure if this thread was started too late, but with sky clear as, and the moon waning at 32% and not rising till 1:30am, was anyone planning to go to the Pony Club tonight? (15/8/09).
I take it next Saturday night (22/8/09) will be on...

I imagine with Border Stargaze (and a private offsite gathering happening with some of the regulars) the numbers will be a bit thin on the ground next weekend. I may be able to make it though....will check into this thread later in the week when my plans are a bit clearer.

Not sure yet, as I will need to do some serious grovelling after being away last weekend. But I live in hope! and fear of my life.

Hi Andrew!
There is pie warmer (not sure if there is a microwave). As it can be a long night, it is good to bring some food. Some of the attendees bring slices, party pies etc to share, inmykombie brings the coffee etc etc.
I am hoping to be there by 6pm, assuming someone with keys is there by then. A couple of friends may be coming who are keen to see what the sky looks like with a large aperture telescope. I only hope the weather co-operates.
Hope to see you there!

Thanks Rod
No probs I'll have a look in the pantry. I'll get there as soon as the key arrives. Hope for clear skies.
Andrew.

You can't do that Bonesy.
Looks like I'll have to put in an appearance now, won't I?
The weather better behave itself then.
