Just got home. Had a good time albeit a few hours. My wife accompanied me so I didn't want to over do it.

Nice to put faces (although I couldn't see them) to names from the SW Group.

Thanks for the warm welcome on such a cold night guys. Hopefully see you at the next one.

Wow ! What a great night, clearest I've seen at Blaenavon.

Was nice to once again see old friends, and meet some new ones. It was a good turnout, my hats off to the few brave and hardy souls who battled the cold and heavy dew; I had to leave early, should have brought more handwarmers.

See you all at the next meet.

Nice to have meet you Mike. Look forward to chatting again soon.

And thanks to Dave for showing me where andromeda is. I will forget but thanks sooo much . Shame about the cold thinking of getting warming clothes next!

Thanks Lenny and your wife for the amazing bread pudding it was in the words of the valleys...... Lush:)

Great to see you had a fantastic night, sorry I could not make it to say hello to all the new faces.

Did get a couple of hours in the garden and except for the neighbour lighting a huge bonfire the seeing was great.

I hope to receive my slice of bread pudding in the post shortly .

I think for our christmas session ill try and get up in the light next time, so nice to talk to people I've never met before, astronomers really are a very friendly bunch, but whether I'd recognise anyone next time around ...who knows lol

It was a great night! I really wish I could have stayed longer but I think my fingers would have fallen off I did!

I managed to cross 2 Messier objects off my list! M33 Triangulum Galaxy and M71 Globular Cluster. I wasn't even looking for M71 so that was a complete surprise and I don't think that M33 is possible at home on account of the light pollution!

Looking forward to the next one!
