Hey Guys...

I know it's nothing to do with me
anymore as I am no longer a committee
member, but I was wondering if all fliers
have been distributed and all relevant papers
and radio stations have been notified??

Cheers Roy :D :D
Roy Stewart.

we had about 20 or so including all of us at it on Tuesday, the weather was 50-50, so I'm surprised we got anyone, but we did manage to get in Jupiter and the Moon.

and the 2 scopes are now working perfectly aswell :)
