Dave and I attended 2 years ago and it was fantasticHi all,
I would like to (re-)contribute with a call for participation at Mt.Parnon Star Party in Greece, 11-13 July 2010. This time it will be an even bigger event than that some of you have attended 2 years ago. It has been decided to be the year's national star party, and is organized by two clubs: Sparta Astronomy Society (my new club) and Orion of Patra.
We will have astronomy workshops, lectures from astronomers, free lunch or dinner, astronomy retailers kiosks, etc.
Soon there will be a web page dedicated to the event (containing a couple of pages in english, too).
There is no participation fee for anyone, there is free staying at the refuge (for limited nr of persons) or at camping tents (unlimited). And there is an option for hotels, at the villages nearby. Since the organizing committee will be very very busy (you can understand that!), we can not provide free transport from Athens Airport to Mt.Parnon this time, so those of you who come will have to rent car(s) or a mini bus.
Stay tuned. The page URL online soon.
