Title: Members Evening - May 28th
Post by: Rick on May 13, 2009, 22:29:28
Tony Sizer says there's still about half an hour un-spoken-for in the programme for the Members Evening in two weeks time...

Hi All

Mike was down but has had to pull out due to work so currently we have no one! It does not have to be a lecture, just talk about anything that interests you (astronomical that is!) or what you've been observing or even what equipment you have and how you use it. Just keep it between 5 and 30 mins in lenght.

Can someone please! please! offer to speak at the members evening,  :( otherwise I have to do my gymnastic routine for 20mins, and its a bit rusty at the moment, but I still fit into that same leotard from 1969, it is tight though.  :-?

The reason I ask is that I already asked Tony sizer to put Luke's name down as he wants to do a talk on Time Travel (something that interests him) - He obviously didn't put it down.... :x

Anyway, so if you want speakers Luke will happily do 15-20 mins on time travel - He has a power point presentation he has prepared... I've already had a sneak preview & it's quite detailed so you'll all have to be 'wide awake..'   :lol:

Let me know for sure if you want him to talk & I'll make sure I'm around that evening to bring him up to the meet.

Thks,  John.


PS - Kinda puts you to shame when your 15 yr old son volunteers to present...  :roll:

PPS - Tony my claim to fame is I used to do Gymnastics at county level when I was 14-15 yrs old perhaps we could do a synchronized routine together... :-)

Jim - Change of plan. I can now make it so will do a talk. However, I might not get there before 8.30 so put me on last.

I was under the impression there were two speakers on the list already, but that there was still one slot free...

Hi John

Yes, consider Luke booked, I'll put him on first as Mike is going to be late getting there.


All right everyone we've got 2 firm speakers, Luke & Mike. Anyone else?

I don't, but I thought Tony had said he had a couple of speakers lined up, and that he needed one more to fill the programme...

Jim,

If we are really stuck, Tony Sizer said he could do something, but likes to be kept in reserve in case a guest speaker doesn't turn up - so only if we can't fill the evening.

It will be nice to hear someone that isn't drawing their pension or wearing a colostomy bag speaking for once ;)
