Oh!! 
..............and I have a feeling they lock the gates after a certain time as well.  I think I'll give Jacky a ring and see what she can suggest.

Carole

OK Just rung Jackie, and she thinks the Indian Restaurant will be OK for me to park there overnight on Saturday, and I can speak to them on Friday about it.  So if I can sort that I'll be staying Friday and Saturday and maybe Sunday see how the weather etc goes.

Seems a shame to waste some good weather.

No, taking the opportunity to fix broken stuff outside.  Will come down for a visit Saturday though and will *bring the BEECHE key* that I keep forgetting to post

I  forgot the meeting, would like to have heard Caroles talk........................ bet it will be hot in there!!!!

What's Carole talking about then? I thought it was Iceland?

Or is it just a case of "what happens in Iceland, stays in Iceland, unless you're doing a members evening presentation"?

Fay

Ian I had an afterthought about our weather & the  room can be quite hot in the summer.. Perhaps Caroles talk will keep the temperature down   :lol:

Yes I was just thinking the same Fay, it was pretty cold in Iceland and the photos reflect that, perhaps as it's going to be so hot tomorow night it will have a psychological effect of making every-one feel a bit cooler.

I must remember to bring the kite!  I'd rather have wind than rain as well :-)  It will be fine, might bring the solar scope.  I will be diging out the macro extension tubes as well.

Tony,

Yes you have to bring the BBQ, nom nom!!!!

Bugger!  Work calls so it's going to be another no show from me.  If I finish early then I might be able to pop down for the evening.

Robert

Mike

Looking at the wind forecast we should all bring kites!!

It's going to be gusty.
