End of 2007 Gathering!

Post by Tachyon »

Ok, it's end of the year and the rain does not seem to stop.

So what do we do when we have all these new equipment (probably that's what causing the rain in the first place!) and no skies to use them?

We can meet and ogle at each other's equipment! (Don't think dirty!)

How about having a Sat afternoon session where everyone can bring their astro-gear to 'ground test'?

I'm dying to see the pink and yellow tubes!

Any takers?

Will try but I think 22 Dec is a popular date for functions... I suppose your side is fully booked?

Sorry, forgot to update - my place fully booked.

Good idea, Arief! Indoors would be better with the unpredictable weather...
