Just a reminder - as usual meet at Change of Horses at 7:15ish

I know it doesn't mean much but the forecast so far is for clear  :o

Sorry Mick, I'm working in Newbury this week so can't be there for the beer observing.

Nice put faces to names - Paul, Vera, Ron and Terry

Sky murky and even the moon was fuzzy - and big  :(
So we stayed in the pub.

Paul and Terry, this is what I was talking about at Subaru - quality and size not good but you get the idea - there is a vacuum chamber so it must be plasma coating after an acid wash - there is a more detailed video somewhere that I've seen  :-?
