daz Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Although not organised by SGL, it's usual for us to have a thread for SGLers attending - so you can easily find each other and say 'hi'! So, I'll be on Red 354 Mon-Thur and then I think Blue 267 Fri and Sat (yes, that *will* be a pain!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelmorris Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I'm at Kelling Heath from Wednesday to Sunday. I can't remember the exact pitch number, but it's somewhere between 166 and 169 on the new area behind the loos on the Yellow field. I'll be in an old Eldiss Autoquest 200 motorhome with a green inflatable awning. Please feel free to pop in for a cup of tea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brantuk Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) All being well, we will be there from Sunday to Sunday on yellow 164 this year. Looking forward to seeing old friends, and making new ones too. (Oh and we should have the 16" Lightbridge with us as well as LS60 solar scope, and maybe a small imaging rig and some big bins).

MattJenko Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 I am hoping to be there from the Thursday. I am with the North Essex Astro Society in the Blue field down the bottom corner, next to the edge of the Red field. You will have to look hard to find my scope though, a TS60ED on a StarAdventurer. If it fits in the car though, I shall give my Mewlon 180 an outing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I normally booked from Thursday to Monday, but if the the weather looks to be good either side I normally come earlier or stay later if I can. Can't stay later this time though.

Dave Smith Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I'm on pitch T380 on the red field from Thurs to Monday. I haven't done any imaging since the Mercury Transit due to holidays and a minor op. I'm now ready to get started again. I look forward to meeting old friends and making new.

wookie1965 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 As I understand you need to phone for bookings as I have never been to Kelling before, I`m going to SGL12 at the end of October but would quite like to book for spring 2017 meet could someone tell me the cost for 3/ nights please or can I find this out from Kelling website thanks.

Dave Smith Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 £14 per night so £42 for the three nights. Ring as soon as you can as the site fills quickly. You will likely be lucky for the spring camp but the autumn one is almost impossible as it is fully booked a year in advance. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't phoned Kelling reception it would be worth it. Their websiite always shows fully booked for the star party weekends to prevent non astronomers from booking the pitches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
