Is anyone going to this on the 19th?

Is it worth going?

I was going to go to this and Roger was going to take me.  However we have to go to a funeral in Devon on 21st so not sure if he will want to do two long journeys so close together,  Maybe we could go together if Roger doesn't want to go after all. 

I think it is definitely worth going.

I'm happy to drive if that works.

I've got a reasonably large estate car so room for four and some kit. Or maybe three and a 16" dob. :)

That would be great, lol I presume you are buying a 16" dob and not taking it for a ride? 

I will have a word with Roger, because he has to drive to me from Worthing, he might like a lift for the 2nd part.

Have spoken to Roger, will  E mail you rather than have a private conversation on the forum.
