Please vote if you are definately going to Deep Sky Camp, if you are definately NOT going or if you are still thinking about it. This is so I can get rough ideas of numbers so I know how much to cater for when getting the cooking ingredients.

PLEASE VOTE !

How is everyone thinking about this weekend? Seems we have a similar situation to the last one regarding weather.

Are the 5 intrepid "yes's" still going even if it says 100% cloud & rain?

Can I say that, that will be, Ian, Tony, Mike Mick, Mac ( nic nac paddy wac)

Or are you all still pondering & may pull out if the situation is too bad? eg. Friday=raining, wind, cloud
Saturday= same.

Fay (as yet undecided)

I can only think of Joe, and we wouldn't whack him...

Oi Tony! I see you've decided to have a go at seriously manly, so dangerous I might die, flower arranging while giving me "pansy posies". Thanks mate, but I'll be arranging Red Hot Pokers or something equally phallic.

Well my plans have changed - I can't make Friday anymore - the misses has gone & booked to go to theatre up London so I'll be baby sitting... Can't believe the 'Sound of Music' is getting in the way of my observing...

I've been feeling really *hit for last week & half so not sure about rest of weekend either - unless I make a full recovery.. I'll try & pop down sometime though to say hello.

Mike - I'll pass on food option thks as I can't guarantee I'll make it...

John.

PS - Based on way I feel Thursday is doubtful at moment as well - sorry.

PPS - I vote for Tony G. as president...

Carole - I'm sure Chris is planning on being down there on Sat & he is very familiar with K3, Registax etc... I still hope to be as well if I feel OK..

Mike - I have to agree with you totally.. I'll have to detail the priorities of Astronomy over The Sound of Music... just need to be diplomatic how I do it :-)

Can't believe you're letting the wife go to start with.... and especially as your hobby is astronomy and this can only be carried out at night... can't she go to the Matinee?????

I've now voted - it's a yes.  I won't be arriving until during the day on Saturday though, unless Friday is a clear night in which case I'll arrive pretty late after work.

What's on the menu Mike?

I'm asking because I can't eat poultry and if that's what we are having I'll have to bring something else.

Thanks

Brill.

I have just heard that my son's friends are coming (2 adults and one well behaved 8 year old) even though my son has blown me out (am I suprised!!!) 

When is the deadline for food orders, and are you happy for them to partake of the meal?

Thanks
