News media is still the best way of publicity, we can call ST to have a free write up in "Life" column.

Hmm.... I am supportive of idea. I was thinkin we can follow wat the U.S. people did during astro day. We can hold a series of simple interesting and easy to understand talks on astro.We can set up stores like pasar malam in the schools to show case the equipment. Lastly, n most importantly hold observations in the nite.

wow..wee kiong has gotten very active here!
anyway, the event is a really good idea if we can get the press to be present to give some publicity and then print some promotional materials to bosst singastro membership. with a "home" to converge in where super active young and old astronomers alike can share their ideas and activities, I think astronomy can be taken to the next level. already we have some secondary schools in here like carlogambino, etc...
I don't mind helping out but you all know my "pattern"...assistance possible only after 10pm!

so when can we confirm the date?

cheers

Wee Kiong, looks like you are the lead for this Singastro project. We will need you to draw up a few things or it will never get started. Among other things, you will need:

1. Time line for the project after deciding the date of the event.
2. Confirm comittee members. We will definitely need members from the polys and schools to help form sub-committees. Guys, please volunteer
3. Subcoms to do publicity, arrange for sponsors, venue and members to bring equipment, plan for activities (incl wet weather program)
4. Can someone try to contact Remus? I know he is pretty busy and not free to pop in regularly, but we do need to pick his brains and time for this event.

I was thinking of holding it in a school that is accessible by public transport.

The display/swap meet/talks can be held indoors in the hall with the viewing done outdoors nearby.

Any other things to note? I suggest starting another forum for this planning.

Hi all
From my previous experience organising Singastro Equipment Fest '02, I learnt that there are lots of people who belong to NATO: No Action Talk Only. :x :roll:

So I just hope that those who volunteer to help out in this event will give Wee Kiong or whoever is the leader the fullest support!

cheers
Chee Chien

Will like to help out where I can, but having 2 very small children and no maid means I may have to meet you guys quite late.
