Cambroon Which night

astroron (Ron) · #1 24-04-2011, 06:04 PM

Next weekend the 30/04/11 is three days before New Moon.
Moon rise is not till 04.30 on Sunday morning.
It also happens to be another three day weekend

The following weekend the seventh of May the Moon sets at 8.20pm.
Is there any preference for either date for the Cambroon weekend or would the both weekends be wanted

Please indicate which one you would prefere if wanting to come

Cheers

Hi Ron, I am more likely to be able to make it the weekend of the 7th of May as we may be going away for the long weekend. Hope to actually make it to this one unlike the past however many months

Shelly, I have decided the Seventh is the date as I think the ground will be Juuuuust too Soggy to dry out by this weekend.

So I think we can call the Seventh of May the next Cambroon Night

If By some miricle the ground where to dry out and by Saturday and people wanted to come up they are quite welcome

Cheers

Ron, I hate to do this seeing as I haven't been able to make it for a million years and keep saying I will but

It's Mother's Day on Sunday!! Completely forgot about having to get back to Brissy for that. Plus my Mum wants me to go with her to see my grand parents and they will be leaving in the morning so I should go as I haven't been to see them of late. My Mum has said she will just go see them but I feel bad about that and feel I should be there.

When is new moon next month!?

Could you move a few 100kms North so I can have a shorter drive from Rocky and make another Cambroon night?

Have a great night!

jjjnettie (Jeanette) · #8 05-05-2011, 01:14 PM

Ron, I'd clean forgotten about Mother's Day too.
I'll have both my boys with me this weekend.
I'm so sorry. I really was looking forward to this too.

Thanks everyone who has posted

At this moment it looks like it will be Me, Myself, My shadow, and I, this weekend at Cambroon

Cheers

We trust you'll put those photons to good use for us, Ron...

BTW - did you get those encoders mounted ok?
