I hope you both get over it without too much trouble or bad symptoms. Get well soon and hope you both are fighting fit on the day. At least if you have to get it, better now than  just at the start of the star camp.

I'll get some yellow and red  striped warning tape and Covid Warning Signs to section off your caravan area. 😈

Does that mean I can sell some extra pies... 😈

[estwing]

No...Damian needs back ups..

[Physopto]

Wee bit of info.

Only 10-11 days left to the begining of the Camp. 😀

 

As we all wlil be aware the weather is pants at present, BUT........

Several Long Range Forcasts are showing that the weather is supposed to clear up a bit around the 22nd- 23rd until towards the end of the month.

And...

There are several night showing up as possibly clear after that.

 

I will of course keep an eye on things.

So I hope that cheers us all up a bit for the Star Camp.

No matter how it turns out it will be great to meet up with Old Friends and forge friendships with New attendees.

 

All being well Leslie will warm up the pies and I will sort out gravy and peas for Friday night.

Some prizes have been kindly donated and some bought for the planned Raffle.

 

Please remember Covid has not gone away entirely and still poses some problems, as unfortunately Jim and Dawn can attest to.

About 1 in 30 people still are infected in the UK, so we may well have one or two people unknowingly with COVID at the camp.

Please try to keep a safe distance, should be easy as we are in a huge field.😇

Stay well, stay safe.

See you all there.

Who are you calling Old - pot and kettle come to mind.

What items would you like for prizes? Bound to be more drink than you could shake a stick at! Astro bits and bobs?

[Physopto]

Anything useful and relevant I supose.

We also need a case of beer.

And

The Booby Prize I am thinking of may be a Mouldy  Pie 🤣

Will 2.5 Kg be enough?  I have one cobbled up from a gym type weight which will lock on the shaft.  I have others, but they will need to be sandwiched to keep them in place, they were made for a large diameter shaft.  This assumes I'm still coming.   I may have to cancel later next week - my wife had a thumb operation a week ago which turned out to be more invasive than expected.  So she may not be able to drive during the week of the star party, in which case I'll have to stay home to ferry her about .   Last minute cancellation unfortunately 😞   If so unless Derek knows about a replacement, I'll sort out something with Lesley.  But for the moment fingers crossed, stitches out next Thursday.

Cheers,

Peter.

Which mount is this for?  My EQ6 is not in use at present so if someone is passing Ponteland then they could take it up to  you.

Hi Andy, hope you and your wife are well. Nice to hear from you again and for you to offer your countetweight on loan. 

I am already in Scotland, so could not bring it, but maybe someone else can.

[Physopto]

OK Folks.

As of today, no one else has come back to me with further orders the "Pie and Peas Night.

At present I have orders for just over 40.

No further food orders will be taken!

 

Anyone else who attends the Star Camp and has not ordered up food is still most welcome to attend the night.

(But they will have to supply their own food.)

 

We can't afford to have a load of produce wasted because someone may or may not be there.

(There is only a small ammount of funds/float available to the Star Camp)

 

Stay Safe,

I hope to see you all there.
