Here is the place for the admins or moderators to do their annoucements. Or, if you have bought a new scope and want the whole world to know, do it here. Basically this is the place for any astro first-hand news.
Chris, i can't see the mars hoax document. It says 403 forbidden.
I didn't know the hoax is around again! One of my juniors was asking me about it, and i thought nothing of it. omg, should have taught her so that she can help stop the rumours >.<
I am going, but i can't bring my scope; due to some issues, i'm now (excused upper limb in army language). I can't lift anything heavier than 2kg.. If someone comes to my home and help me bring it there and back i'll gladly bring the scope!
Maybe next year we should start an "anti-Mars-hoax" chain letter. Just a thought
Klutz,
Thanks for offering to help to print. It would be really good if you could! I have some starcharts too.. at about 15-20 copies each, are you sure it will be ok?
Thanks Hannah and Klutz/Kat/Cat/Catherine?
Hi Chris, I'm happy to help!! So, I shall print the documents in the link? And you will pass me the star charts?? Let me know aye! You have my contact!
I've also invited some of my colleagues and friends, hope they'd be free to join us :roll: (The weather better not be too cloudy!)
And again, my name is.... "KAT". 8-)
You know dat children are growing up when they start asking questions that have answers...
CC, how many should we print for each? Can I leave it to you to decide?
Kat, thanks for helping print! CC will tell you how many..
p.s. The Mar hoax 2006 brochure was posted previously. Just in case there are problems accessing them, they are also available in this folder - http://www.box.net/public/65o6tb5p6n
Cheers,

Hmm... chris, the formatting seems to be a bit out after changing to 3 column.. i attach the 2 diff versions here anyway, with singastro logo, u guys decide lah hor.. the first one is meant to be double sided on A5 size, the second one (V2) is single side on A4 size..
Eh, and CC, I may not be able to bring scope, cos i got some outing to ECP that day.. cannot lug scope whole day lah.. I see if can work sth out

If we do not actively solicit the public or put up advertising of any manner to the public, it should be OK to treat this as an informal gathering of friends who share a common interest.
Of course we would not mind if curious members of the public wants to have a peek at the sky through our scopes.

Agreed, this is meant as an event for forum members and friends.
Hannah, no worries if you can't bring a scope as we will have enough for the evening.
Kat, 10-20 copies will be enough. We can share the handouts.
cheers
