Hi Everyone.  I’m giving this event a bump, hoping we attract plenty of people.

I`m booked to go, looking forward to it.

I am booked too, but Ed already knows this.

I should have mentioned this previously- this event is close to Rayleigh station on the Southend to Liverpool Street line, but on Saturdays there is a bus replacement service currently operating.

Therefore your traveling options are - the bus replacement service, regular bus service, using the car park adjacent to the venue, or perhaps if you’re feeling fit it’s time to pump up those bicycle tyres ?

Hi everyone.   There are still places available for this event.  

It’s going to be a great astronomy day out, and will go ahead even if it’s cloudy ?

Maybe see you there.....Ed.

IMPORTANT UPDATE 

Sweyne Park School, the venue for this event, have asked that NO FOOD CONTAINING NUTS is brought onto their premises.

This is to avoid allergy problems.

Thanks, Ed.

Back home from the meeting. A great range of different talks and well done to everyone involved in getting it organised. The talk on Black Holes gave the old brain cells a welcome workout!

Thanks and glad you enjoyed it ?

The day went smoothly for visitors, but behind the scenes those organising the talks had to go to plan B.  But then plan B unraveled...........in the end a great line up of very competent speakers entertained us greatly.

I was most sad to have to cancel myself at the last minute,
pleased that another CPAC member managed to use my place.
