wakefield area

[stevemuir]

Ah well. We can still meet and chat over beer - never a bad thing :-)

Did anyone see the amazing fireball on Friday night?

If it looks like it'll be clear tomorrow evening, I'll shove my scope in the car just in case....

[Sammyb]

I'm planning to be there tomorrow night. I'm looking forward to it.

[stevemuir]

I won't be bringing my scope, then...!

[notaclue]

Shame about the weather though. But beer though. Its a plus by any means.

[MarkMayf]

See you shortly!

[stevemuir]

Great first meeting, guys - a pleasure to meet you all, and thank you Will for sorting it out!

Looking forward to the next meeting of WAG (Wakefield Astronomy Group!) on Monday 15 October at the New Wheel (which, incidentally, is a very, very nice pub). Hope we can get even more people along!

[notaclue]

No worries Steve. Nice to meet people who are interested not only in astronomy but also other things as well.

See you all on the 15th.

[Sammyb]

It was a good night and nice to meet you all. Thanks for organising Will. I'm looking forward to the 15th!

Hopefully more turn up. We are not all knife wielding psychopaths. Even though I do have a long black coat.

I may add.... Free membership!

That should work lol

Turn up. Could be a fun evening sat under the projector while some football is on.

[notaclue]

Oh yeah. Remember about the quick chat about books. I mentioned Norton's Star Atlas. Here it is on Amazon.

Oops. Wrong Amazon. That was the USA one. Here is the British one.

[Sammyb]

Sorry chaps but I can't make the 15th now. I checked my work diary and I have to drive down to Milton Keynes that night.

I'll definitely make the next one.

[Sammyb]

I thought I'd post this.... the Plough over Ossett

[MarkMayf]

How did you do that with all those garden lights!?

[notaclue]

Normally dress like a ninja and steal them works. Or a hammer solves that problem.

[Sammyb]

Its just a 20 second exposure photo. The lights came out nice I think.

[notaclue]

Is the meeting this Monday? If so, another beer to try.

[stevemuir]

Hi guys,

Really sorry, but can't make Monday after all - have to go away for work.... But hope lots of new people turn out!

Note for people who didn't come last time: these are good guys, and there's not an axe-murderer in sight ;-) So join them on Monsay evening at the New Wheel pub in Wrenthorpe. Good beer, too.

I'll be there in November, assuming there's another meeting - keep us posted. And let us know if anyone's going off observing - my Skywatcher 200 is getting restless to be used...!

[jbdtaylor]

Hey guys, I'm from Outwood, now living near Knottingley. Will definitely try make it down to a meeting! Probably not this one coming, but the one after I'll try to get down for (providing I remember!).

[MarkMayf]

What time is it supposed to start tonight? I forgot I have to pick my wife up from work!

[notaclue]

Half 7 I will be there for. So turn up if you can.

Anyone else, turn up and have a chat.

[MarkMayf]

I cannae do it captain. Sorry. I won't even be hone till half past 8. Then I need to eat and stuff. Sorry it's such short notice.

[notaclue]

No worries. Someone choose a Monday night and lets meet up.

Also make it a clear night so we don't have to watch the footy on that large screen again.

[stonemonkeylives]

Sorry I was AWOL from SGL and didn't notice the meets. I will definitely try to get to the next one.

In regards of a local AS, I know there is one in Leeds and West Yorkshire AS is based at an observatory in Caslteford (don't know if its still running though). But I'd be happy to help kick off WAG
