2014 OAS Calendar

[Mike]

The new 2014 OAS Calendar is complete and with the printers for a delivery date of 23rd October. If you want a copy I will be bringing them along to the October, November and December meetings and i'll have them in the boot of my car at Observing Sessions.

I only have 75 copies this time so grab them quick. They are £5 each as usual. They have the dates of the OAS meetings, Deep Sky Camps, Imaging Session, Observing Evenings, Moon Phases, Meteor Showers, Bank Holidays and space to write your own things in. Each page has an astro photo created by a member of the society.

So the images have already been chosen!  I was looking forward to our usual evening of looking at the year's highlights of OAS images.

However I suppose with 7 months of solid cloud and rain there were many fewer images than normal.

[Mike]

Yeah time was of the essence so it had to be done quickly and no time to arrange an evening. You are right, there was not many images to choose from this year thanks to the crappy weather. Plus a lot of the guys who usually post images did none at all or just one or two. Just about found enough to put in. They are all great images though. Hopefully we will have better weather over the next 12 months so next year there will be plenty to choose from.

Can you reserve one for me Mike please.

Hang onto one for Rose and I please Mike. Will collect on Thursday. Thanks.

[Ivor]

I can't make tomorrow's meeting so please reserve 2 calendars for me. I plan to come to the uDSC next week (that will ensure it it will rain now) so I can pick them up from you then?

[Delphine]

Great calendar again Mike.  Super images also.

[MarkS]

Indeed.  Another worthy calendar - well done Mike!

[Mike]

I noticed some of the calendars had loose front or back pages. It looks like the ring binding wasn't put on properly. Going through the box there are quite a few like that.

Anyway, i've raised a complaint with the printers and they are going to reprint them.

If you've bought a calendar that has loose pages then I can give you one of the new reprinted ones (when they arrive) when I see you next.

[Carole]

Yes I have had problems with mine Mike, would appreciate a reprinted one.

[MarkH]

Hi mike, yes I'll have one.
