There was a post on the subject that suggested that Julian was our only member going to Kelling. Rother has two bookings so far.

Phil,

I have a strange feeling that Mick, may have booked on Tuesday, had a few beers and a Doner, and booked again on Wednesday, after Tuesday became a big blur. ;)

Very civilised. All you need now is a cellar, some hand pumps and optics and you'll be the most popular guy at DSC.  :P

I may be down on the Saturday night but nothing booked yet.

Yes I am going to Kelling as the nights are going to be clear and ran at all other astronomical sites that the orpington lot are going to.
Don't forget the waterproofs. :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:

I'm all for cancelling DSC and heading off to Kelling Heath for a Khoom Fay and Firework Festival, not forgetting the Laser Show and bonfires   :evil:

Isn't the whole point of aperture fever that you end up with a nice large 'scope to shelter under? :evil:
