i would be up for it even if theres only 2 or 3 of us, but i`m not sure about
going to an unknown area on my own, not knowing whos likely to be around.
each time i`ve been to an official obs. evening , we`ve never got to High Elms,
if it was weekly adhoc then at least we would be able to use the 5 day
forecast for reference.
