For those who are bringing your telescopes, PLEASE PM me and I will send you an invitation letter. Please note that refreshments and chairs are provided.

Useful Information:
This site is located between Car Park C4 and D1 of East Coast Park. In between these two carpark locations is an overhead bridge connecting to the opposite inland side of the expressway near Victoria Junior College and Katong Convent School. There is also a bus stop opposite each of the carparks with Bus Service 401. This bus service heading towards the west direction arrives with the following times on Saturday:
1742, 1808, 1835, 1857, 1919, 1939, 1959, 2017, 2037, 2057, 2114, 2134, 2154, 2214hrs (times are approximate). Basically the last bus leaves at 2214hrs. Those coming by car can park at either C4 or D1, head towards the shoreline, and you will be able to see the site. Additionally, the inland direction from the perspective of the site will meet a big canal. Those coming by public transport can also take buses that arrive at VJC. Moreover, do note that there are two restrooms nearby and several pavillions for shelter just in case of sudden bad weather.

PLEASE NOTE THE ABOVE EVENT IS STRICTLY WEATHER DEPENDENT. THE EVENT WILL BE HELD AT MARINE PARADE COMMUNITY BUILDING IF IT RAINS OR SHOWS SIGN OF ABSOLUTELY NO CLEARING.

Please call and confirm the event prior to coming.

*The exhibition will end at 10pm, telescope viewing will not be affected.
