South Wales Astronomy Group (SWAG) Star Party Spring 2024

[Freff]

Pencelli Caravan Park is now taking bookings for SWAG Spring Star Party 2024.

The dates are 8th - 10th March.

If you wish to attend, please contact the park direct (by phone is best) and book your preferred pitch.

Remember to mention you are with the astronomy group, and you will be put on a suitable pitch near other members.

When you book please post here your pitch number and days attending. Thanks.

Any other queries please post here and I will try and to help.

I'm booked in on Pitch G, 7th - 10th March.

I have also booked a table at The Royal Oak again for the Friday at 6.30pm. 

If you want to book a meal, best do it ASAP, and say you are with the Astronomy Group.

They have told me they will pull tables together if there is enough of us.  Book in your own name.

Please let me know if you booked.

Just checked the long range weather forecast for the star party  weekend,  8th - 10th March.  It looks like typical spring like weather, with some showers interspersed with long periods of sunshine and clear skies.

Fingers crossed.

looking forward to catching up with everyone.

 

Cheers,

Nice one. Even if we have only a few hours of clear weather, it'll be worth going as my garden is a light playground.....

[Freff]

And of course there's always the pub...I often see stars after a few hours in there.

Excellent. See you then.

Just phoned the Royal Oak  about  the meal tomorrow night.

Well, a very pleasant weekend despite having zero chance to observe! Nice to see everyone again and thanks to Tony as usual for organising it.

[reddoss]

Back home safe and sound. Thanks to Tony and everyone else for a pleasant weekend, despite the cloud..

[MickD]

It was good to meet up with everyone & thanks to Tony for arranging. Shame about the weather, but we still had a good time.

The very loud helicopter above our motorhome in the middle of the night was a bit of a surprise though. Hopefully whoever they were looking for was OK.
