30th Anniversary Meeting - Tomorrow

[Ian]

Just a reminder, this meeting starts at the earlier time of 6:30pm with Gilbert presenting "The History of OAS".

The main speaker Helen Walker will be on at the usual time.

[Rocket Pooch]

is it members only ?

[Ian]

Its a normal meeting, just longer.

With a B.Y.O buffet, if people remember   

[PhilB]

We haven't been to an OAS bring your own buffet before and aren't sure of the formalities. Are we bringing scoff that will be placed on a table for everyone to eat? This makes a difference in terms of volume, as, in my case, I'm not be allowed to eat or drink anything tomorrow evening!

I guess that at this point I should insert HIJACK ALERT!!!!!

I've now heard Gilbert talk about the OAS and also about his involvement in the RGO on several occasions. These have been very interesting and informative talks. One thing bothers me - is anybody writing this down? Without a written record all this information will eventually be lost.

End of Hijack....

[Ian]

Phil, if it goes as it does at christmas, there is a good spread. We often have food left over so bring enough for one or two people.

We'll lay the buffet out in the other room with tea and coffee as usual.

[PhilB]

OMG! Thursday evening is not going to be easy.....

[Carole]

I'm not be allowed to eat or drink anything tomorrow evening!

OMG! Thursday evening is not going to be easy.....

Perhaps you need to stay in the meetings room and not go into the refreshment hall Phil out of temptations way.

Hi all,

At what time does the BYOB start? as I'm wondering, if the fish & chips, and Doner Kebab will get cold, or is there a way or keeping them warm? as it's not right to reheat them too many times, because I'm getting them this evening, and heating them before I set off tomorrow.

Tony G

PS.......................Can I bring a dear friend along who is a non-member, and is interested in astronomy?
Please let me know ASAP so I can let him know.

[Carole]

Non members are allowed to attend on the basis that they might want to join and are coming to see what we are like before they commit.  They are allowed a couple of meetings to make up their mind.

Carole

[Tony G]

OK, thanks.

I'll see you there tomorrow then, Rocket Pooch, and don't forget some goodies.

[Rocket Pooch]
