I'm not going to this session as even if i have the day off work, ill put myself down to work some overtime so wont be able to go.

Well, its got to be worth a different approach as the last 2 i said i'd attend we've been cursed with darned clouds so hopefully this time it will be third time lucky

I'm actually going to see Michael McIntyre this weekend. The wife booked the tickets thinking it was last year we were going to see him and here we are nearly 2 years after buying the tickets and it's buggered my observing up lol

I might pop over for this if I can make it. I'm in Pembrey at the moment.

[Matthew]

Your more than welcome to join us Simon .If you check the thread on the day of the meet i try to make a decision by dinner time so everyone has enough time to pack the car.

[Spikey]

Cheers Matthew, I've got all my imaging kit with me but it needs mains so I'll probably be scopeless. Be good to say hello again anyway.

Weather forecast is looking decidedly dodgy at the moment - but it is a bank holiday weekend after all.

[valleyman]

My money is on it clearing up at about 19:47 Saturday evening with clearer skies developing as the evening goes on

One of the few MM quotes I can remember is him translating Welsh place names and saying that Newport means 'rough as @@@@!' You're not holding a grudge, Valleyman?

I will try to make this session - I haven't been to one before....

[valleyman]

I am from London Johnny. we dont hold grudges, we get revenge :grin: :grin: :grin:

Ah! Maybe I'm busy this weekend then.......

Seriously, the weather forecast doesn't look very promising?

Fingers crossed for you all

[Matthew]

Sunday is looking promising but as always im working

[valleyman]

Still looks like there will be a window of oppurtunity from about 20:00hrs on Saturday
