I however will not be there, but I am alive and will be home tomorrow.

Mick so glad you are in working mode, you have missed the hottest days of the year!  Glad you are on the mend, you are doing well!

Err... 8:15pm or 20:15 if you're military about it... ;)

Thanks, Rick, I was wondering 'cos it still says 7:15 PM on the website

Website tweaked. I was guessing, as it's sometimes not just summer time that affects the start time. Late September and October observing evenings sometimes start at 7:15(-ish) even though they're still in summer time territory...

Hi its Nigel again.  Can't believe it was February when I met you all in the Coach and Horses! Have not managed to log in recently but am hoping to get down to the Coach and Horses again tomorrow - hope that's OK?  Look forward to seeing you all again and hoping for a clearer sky than tonight!!

Mike

Look forward to seeing you again.

Don't forget (i.e. the Observing Officer) that there is an Observing Session tonight.

See you there, but I don't think we're going to do much astronomy tonight.  :roll:

     Who managed to get to the Change of Horses for the drinking observing session last night ?????  Our car was stuck, as we couldn`t get down our small, very ice rink style hill??

     Hope you made it, Mick, and lots of other peeble as well.  Let`s hope that it clears before the Christmas meeting as we don`t want to miss that.  Thought of you having an Abbot and I missed my pinta Harvey`s.

     Oh, well ...............  :beer:

     Doug. And Rose.
