Limerick Astronomy Club

I know it's a bit early but I'd like to book the Holliday time from work to be sure to have the weekend off.

yea, we'll be having a committee meeting over the next week or 2 and will decide it then.

Sweet.

Any news on this date? I want to book my week from work. No hassle if not.

yip, check out the bsp page , its all up there,

Doh! Never thought to look there!
14&15 of Sep it is so.
Must book that time off now.
It's amazing, the only thing we have to worry us now about our star party is the weather! Happy days!!!

and worring about the weather isn't going to make the clouds go away, so its no worry at all. !!
all the same, lets hope for that indian summer.

Ah yes. The famous no-show Indian Summer.
Was reading about where the term came from and found this;
In some regions of the southwestern United States, 'Indian summer' is colloquially used to describe the hottest times of the year, typically in late July or August. But in the South, as elsewhere in the US, this period is more commonly known as the dog days, in reference to the position of Sirius, the 'Dog Star' and brightest star in the sky other than the sun.

Interesting.
I always thought Dog Days were hot lazy days where even the dogs are pooped & laying about.

I reckon I'm out for the 14th
but I should be able to make
the 15th(fingers crossed)..
Thats good news for Tom,
no more snoring and late night
music on the phone... Ha Ha..

Cheers Roy

a slot on the radio..
