Don't forget there is an Observing Session tonight. 7:15pm onwards starting at the Change of Horses, Farnborough, and moving on to the field later if it is clear.

The forecast for tonight doesn't look too bad so it could be your last decent observing session of 2009. If not, we will enjoy a chat and a pint in the pub.

I will bring along the box of Calendars tonight so if you wish to buy one off me tonight is your chance.

Not sure if there are any 'wedgies' going tonight but i'm sure we can try to help.

Great, total cloud cover once again, one day an observing session will coincide with a clear night. So the scope goes back into the garage, until the next clear night.
:cry:

Well it does give me the chance to get over the work xmas do today.

Well we were all sat in the pub, enjoying our beers and free sandwiches, waiting for you to arrive.

Ermmmm I'm sure, BUT I will be coming on Thursday :o And i have actually bought a crate of beer, to share. Got in on Martin's money tips, that advertised in Tesco's 3 crates for £20..... I have kept 2/3rds of the beer, but am happy to share the other crate with everyone else. ;)

Funny though all the cloud had cleared by 11:30, When i was getting into bed, well lying on my airbed. :(
