[Fay]

Oooh you will enjoy that Mark!!!!!!!!!!!

I have just watched "The Last Mimzy" a childrens film

[Rocket Pooch]

Were going there on the 25th and 26th, mainly because if it s clear the moon will be very nice and there's also saturn and mars knocking about, also you can Ha image as well.

[Fay]

thats a good idea Chris

I'd be up for that if the weather is turns for the better.

[MarkS]

I'm busy on 25th/26th

[Kylee]

So is anyone actually going?

[MarkS]

Cloudy tonight.
Cloudy all day tomorrow.
Heavy rain tomorrow night.

I don't think anyone is going.  Try again next weekend.

[Fay]

no one has come  on and said they are going Kylee. Leaves you a bit in the air, shame.
You know the ones that are not going

[Mike]

I'm not going this weekend due to the weather but may be up for an adhoc DSC next weekend if it's looking better.

[Kylee]

Ah shame but I understand...don't want my first weekend with you lot to be a miserable one! I'm not about the following weekend so I guess I'll have to wait for the next one.

See you all at the meeting 

[Tony G]

Well me and SWMBO (She who must be obeyed) will be going next week whether it be snowing or the sun beating down as I've worked it out that it is more than 12 months and more since I was last camping and it seems such a waste having 42 tents and not using any, and Flis is also not working next weekend which was alway a bit of a problem as the DSC's were every 4 weeks(moon phasing) which clashed with her rota.
So no matter what the weather I'll be there. .................unless the X Factor or something like that is on

Tony G

PS........Mick, forget the motorhome for the moment until the birds have flown the nest, and use one of my 41 tents that I won't be using. Free of Charge..... during the day. 

[mickw]

Cheers Tony you're a real mate.  Can I have the one with the bar and jacuzzi please 

[MarkS]

Actually, the weather turned out far better than predicted.  It would have been a pleasant and fairly warm weekend camping even though no astronomy could be done.  Last night's rainfall turned out be be some fine drizzle.

The KESRailway had a 1940s weekend - there was a Douglas DC3 Dakota flying around Tenterden early yesterday afternoon  (seen from our house - I looked round when I heard the engine noise) and today there will be a Spitfire flying around Bodiam.

At least the weather had the decency to remain cloudy at night 

[Fay]

we are prisoners of the weather forecasts. shame they cannot be accurate. Lots of forecasters all get their info from the same provider, so we all have a problem trying to average it out between them.

we were probably the sacrifical lambs, & by not going to DSC have made the weather better for everyone else!!!!


(ps, i am sure my first letter after a full stop used to automatically become a capital, without intervention from myself. Am I right or wrong?)
