QuoteWhat! is it not raining in Hartfield this weekend

I didn't mean this weekend Tony, what I meant was if this weekend is not viable due to weather then we could try Hartfield another weekend to make up for it.

I must agree that this weekend is looking like a potential washout. It would be easy enough to reschedule one for January if people don't go to this one. I think we should do that anyway regardless. For 2010 I am going to plan official DSC's every 2 months instead of 3 commencing in January.

That would be great Mike

:cheesy:

That sound excellent.

I agree, there certainly seems to be a call for it.  Then if one is a washout then it's not so long to wait until the next one.

Great idea Mike, there certainly seems to be enough interest for having them that often.

DSC every 2 months is a great idea Mike.

We can "infill" with UDSCs to cover the remaining months!

Mark,

Was going to say the same thing, as this is what we have done for the past months.

PS.................This is the first one I've missed,  :cry: and so I'm a bit disappointed, but if no-one is going, that makes me feel a bit better.  :)

I'm still seriously considering going to DSC this weekend if it looks like there will be reasonable night-time gaps between rain belts.  The wind rules out the C11 so it'll be widefield only.

I'll have to take extra French pastis.

Tony, save a good spot for Mark and I'm sure he'll share the Pastis with you  :lol:
