Another reminder of the DSC this weekend. it is early days but the forecast doesn't look too bad so far.

again, a reminder to book up on the Blacklands Farm Campsite website prior to turning up or you may not be able to get an electric hook-up.

Yeah that's why I said on the 22nd to book up asap.

If you bring a long extension lead then you can plug into someone else's power for your scope.

See ya there

Just to let you know even though it has tipped it down for a couple of nights at the weekend the ground around here is still bone dry.  The local forecast is good for Friday and the weekend as well.  But its going to be HOT!

[Kylee]

It was last time too....mustn't grumble though! 

[Carole]

A couple of practical queries so I know what to pack.

Are we camping at the southern end of the field again which means we're up against the trees?  I am asking so I can decide on target, and which scope and camera, and also whether we will get any shade from the trees as only bringing my little pop up tent. 

If there's no shade, are we having the event shelter?  If not I might need to consider bringing my gazebo which is currently erected in the garden.

Soz if already posted.... but just found it and think it will be useful

Carole - It's going to be a busy weekend so we will just have to go wherever there is a free spot. I would advise getting down as early as possible.

I can bring the communal shelter along as long as everyone is willing to chip in for the fee as Blacklands will charge.

[Carole]

I think it might be needed.  I'd be happy to chip in.
