This used to be a great event at Church Farm campsite , Sixpenny Handley

http://www.swindonstargazers.com/clubnews/salisbury2009.htm

Chelmorton (PSP) was great , but with some light pollution from Buxton and the nearby quarries.

It'll such a shame if such meetings cannot take place ,

clearer skies ! 

Nick.

We went to a star party at Sixpenny Handley before - it was great - nice and dark on Salisbury plain, and plenty of EHU! Super cafe too!

I saw a film crew on the Mull of Galloway, making a film about lighthouse keepers called The Vanishing. Gerard Butler was there, looking gorgeous! 😉💗👄😀

That's awful. Whatever sympathy I express for people caught in it is going to sound inadequate, but I do feel for them . And the poor guys at Lucksall must be feeling so anxious.

I'm glad you're safe and well Mark.

Lucksall campsite has been on my mind during storm Dennis. The Environment Agency has a severe flood warning with 'danger to life' for the area around Mordiford. That's worse than it was last time we were there. Does anyone know if they are OK there? I know they have good flood defences, but it sounds like they may not have been enough. I know Mark at Beaufort is local - does anyone know if he is OK?

My card is one of those that has expired since payment...what a pain for you to sort out, James! However, it would have hurt you more to rescue me and carry me across flooded fields! 😲

I saw the flooding in Hereford on Midlands Today - awful - cancellation was certainly the right decision.

We're gutted!

But we appreciate you making the decision earlier rather than later.

There's a flood warning in place for Fownhope - I'm not having that! At least there's not a storm coming in from the Atlantic like there was last year. I'm counting on not floating down the Wye in my dad's caravan! 😮😄

Both have our special hats at the ready now, hoping for some clear skies. 

 

My word - what a fine-looking couple! I'm voting for you as King and Queen of the Astro-prom! 😀

Watching lots of grown men rolling around in the mud together...nothing weird about that! 🤪

Lulu, so i'm not sure if you are referring to Ian's Biking Attire or a Kinky fetish, but getting back to the topic at hand........

Neither...the purchase of smart leather attire is an activity intrinsically couched in an aura of deep inner happiness! 😉

As for me getting off topic...as Ian knows from long experience, it's a skill I've honed over many years. I'm very good indeed at it. 

Don't worry - I'll stop crashing your thread now! (...or will I??!) 🤪

I recently upgraded to a CT10 and I'm so happy with it.

That maybe so, Ian, but I think you'd be even happier if you sold all your astro-tackle and spent the money on leather boots and jackets.

Go on, you know I'm right! 😉🤪

You're a star Mark! xxx 😘

Does anyone know if the café will be open the whole week? We're staying Fri-Wed, and I don't know if I can be a*sed to cook!

(Of course, I could get Ian to cook, but his bottom lip may wobble).

They don't make 'em like that any more! 😉

I think there should be an astronomical-karaoke round.

I nominate The Ians to perform "I lost my heart to a Starship Trooper" in spangly body suits....(I'd pay good money to see that!).

Go Scumbag!

Can I be Vyvyan this year?!

And can I call Michael Morris Bambi Gascoigne??

This would mean a bit more interaction between everyone and not having a team of 6+ vs a team of 3 (which we had a couple of years ago!).

I think that the most sensible suggestion in this situation would be for you to cheat shamelessly. 🤪

You appear to be opposite us....poor you! 😉

It's on the pitch plan thread. 🙂

Aaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh! 

Your SGL hat has made my day, tich! Do you think you could persuade Ian to get one? 🤪

Afternoon all I'm thinking of attending this year although it will only be on the Friday & Saturday night, we will be coming down straight from work so I'd imagine I won't be there until 7:30-ish so I'll be setting up quite late. If its clear & I don't want to be stoned to death is there a hard standing pitch where I can set up out of the way? We will be using red torches when unfolding the caravan but it any hands on help to get the thing set up quick would be appreciated so not to disturb any of you lovely folk.

Hey - tich the Viking! Aaaaarggggh!!

There's going to be a stoning?! I'll be there with two flats, two points and a packet of gravel...but if you don't mention Jehova, I suppose I could lend you a (rather inept) hand! 🤪

There's always room for one more in team Scumbag College Amanda!

That sounds very exciting!

Take an electric blanket!
