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!!

     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.
