I'll probably be going, as for observing, that depends on the weather forecast in the previous days, ill probably stay for the dinner.

Had a great time at the event.
It was nice to catch up with everyone and to see
A good turn out from Shannonside Astronomy Club.
The talks were very good and the dinner was great fun.
Thanks Dave for the spin up and back.
I'll drive next year!

No probs, your driving next year, I want my few pints
A very good day indeed, we had a great turn out from SAC at it, it's great to see the enthusiasm on the up.
And I got to have a good chat with a long lost SAC member, it was great meeting Mike Murphy after all these years,

It is indeed. These kinds of events are great for actually talking to people.
I found the whole event refreshingly 'Ego-Free'.
Ronan and the lads in the GAC did a superb job and to be fair, it's all due to Ronan's effort.
Organising and running these events is ALL consuming. Kudos to him.
