Thanks for answering my questions Mick.

My cheque is in the post and I look forward to meeting and sharing equipment at our dark site.

Many Thanks, Neil.

Some great points raised guys, wish I could have made it but unfortunately work stepped in with a curve ball.

I would be more than willing to pay 25 pounds for access and use of the dark site. I have just checked and its about 35 - 40 minutes from my door to the site so I think that is pretty close.

A few questions though, is the site actually any good and has anyone verified it as a dark site, no erroneous stray lights nearby?

Does the site have parking and is it hard standing? I guess with organisation we could double up and car share if members live near to each other or pass close to other members houses.

Also would not meeting at the dark site perhaps diminish the effect of a monthly meeting at the town hall? I'd rather meet when the skies are dark and maybe have an informal meeting at a local pub.

Just a suggestion or make it 'pay as you go' to the church hall, so members aren't hit with 2 lots of 25 pound subs.

Anyway whatever we decide I feel there is enough interest amongst the group to enable us all to enjoy each others company and equipment.

Thanks Doc for the effort and I look forward to meeting you all in person soon.

Many thanks, Neil.
