Hi astronomers ,

Please download the attachment for details on the [glow=red]Jupiter watch [/glow]planned so far...

The organising committee really hope this event will come to pass after much planning and meetings...

So far we had tried to budget and revise our budget numerous time, this is the estimated budget we would need. We are currently negiotiating with the schools to help be the main sponsors for this event. We will get the final quotation and confirm budget before we request for donations.

Interested Vendors, donating prizes for the competitions, and volounteer to bring telescope set up for public viewing are all encourage....

We look forward for your support...

Hi Jin Peng
Can you post the information in the Excel and Word documents as a normal post? Not many people will download and view an embedded file. Furthermore, the large files consume too much bandwidth. Thanks.

Good initiative. But the permit cost $680?? Perhaps can talk to the government people that this is purely a not-for-profit effort and get them to waive that.

Well we should, after all this is an educational event that promotes learning.

Hi astronomers ,

long waited updates, sorry for the delay.

Our team had being busy lately sourcing for sponsors, getting participants from schools and trying to comfirm their participation.

To date, the event will be scale down and will not be as big scale as plan earlier:

reason being is we cannot have enough funds, nor sponsors are willing to support us financially however, only willing to provide goodie bags. And many schools are busy preparing for astro challenge and few accept out invitation - even accept is only a few come.

So to confirm, it will be change to a gathering, so to interact and mingle among astronomers, we encourage all singastroian to come down with your telescope to have a interaction. You can leave anytime. hopefully overnight

So details as follow:
Saturaday 9th June
8pm onwards at east coast area D1 beside Siglap canal

Hope to see you there... 8-)

Please email to jupiter_watch2007@hotmail.com if you interested to come. Currently NYP is the official school coming down~
