AstroPub - nr Reading Fri 18th Jan

[Jim-a]

We'll be meeting up at the Bottle and Glass in Binfield Heath near Reading this Friday (18th Jan) at 8.00pm. http://www.bottleandglassbinfieldheath.com/

We did some observing from the beer garden there last month and it worked really well. If the clouds are well behaved then we'll be outside with scopes in the garden. If its not clear then we will be in the bar chatting about astronomy etc (and probably moaning about the weather).

Anyone who wants to come along and join us would be more than welcome.

I'm 500 miles away from Reading........but I do like the idea of a Star Party in a Pub Garden.

[Jim-a]

maybe 500 miles is a bit too far to travel

However, if you like the idea then why not organise one yourself ?- This is our third... So far they have been really easy to arrange and have worked out really well - if you decided to do one we'd be happy to publicise it through the @AstroPub twitter account etc and give you any help you needed

The forecast in for tomorrow is for snow, so we've decided to cancel the AstroPub meetup at the Bottle & Glass - wouldn't want to get snowed in and stuck in the pub all night (on the other hand....)

We're planning to re-schedule for Friday 1st Feb - but I'll confirm nearer the time.
