Speaker needed!

[daz]

Following NickH's sad news, I have need of another speaker!

Any astronomy related subject will be fine - I can provide laptop if necessary, just need the you and the content!

Let me know if you are able to help, as I fear that 40 minutes of me telling knock-knock jokes will not go down well.....

I could do a talk on home observatories or observing the Moon if you want.

Please, not again!!!

Please, not again!!!

Better the jokes than Daz's impersonation of "Madame Edith" from Allo Allo complete with the singing

Thanks Michael!

Steppenwolf has kindly offered to assist with another talk as well - perhaps share the workload?

No problem. I've give both talks on several occasions and they're both already on my laptop, so it's no hassle. Just let me know where and when.

[Dave]

I could also fill in a bit if required, as I've got a few talks on my laptop as well.

[Stephen]

I could talk about Vodka? ...

Bah!, too late, it seems the practical requirements of your talk have been snapped up.

I wish I could type quicker .

Am so looking forward to this weekend....

Another suggestion has been mooted - how about a Question and Answer session?

Could be on imaging, collimation, polar aligning - or it could be a Mod/Admin Q&A session...

Thoughts (and quickly please!! )?

I think that would go down very well.

I think a Q & A session would be very useful but 'interesting' to organise as who will answer the questions, a panel or a 'free for all' with a referee? The latter could work:-

Hands up to ask a question - referee chooses the questioner

Hands up with answers - referee chooses a couple of answerers

Just a thought - now all we need is a referee and it ain't me!!

[Astrosurf]

Q&A session sounds great.

Good suggestion Steve!
