Bump this back to the top just to remind peeps about the meet on the 4th March.

Everybody welcome. Any newbies in the area are more than welcome to come along.

[Mr Flibble]

Would've loved to come along because I'm pretty new to this and I've never been to a gathering before but unfortunately the timing clashes with my hols. Will look out for the next event though

[garethmob]

im up for it providin my cars working by then:D

[valleyman]

Bump.

Just a reminder for the 4th March, Still plenty of places available and all free.

[valleyman]

Having looked at some long distance weather forecasts, it would seem the planned date for our meet 4th March is looking a bit grim.

What I am proposing is a meet next Monday which looks pretty good with a high pressure building over the SW of UK.I know this is a bit short notice and some may not be able to make it on a weekday because of work. However the 4th March will stay open incase the weather improves. All a bit grab and go, but hope some of us can make it. Moon will be in last quarter so should not have a porp with moon shine.

[Mr Flibble]

Thats before I go on hols so I should be able to make it, weather permitting.

[noakesy]

any one going to SGL 6 we could meet there

[Mark at Beaufort]

I just checked out the weather forecast for Brecon for the 28th which looks OK.

I assume the Brecon Mountain Centre is at Libanus LD3 7DP?

Any idea how many are likely to come and what time do we meet up?

Mark

[Psychobilly]

Yep thats the locale...

can't do Mondays

[valleyman]

Thats correct for the location Mark.

Not had much of a response yet.

But bump this back to the top might help

Weather looks ok with 10% cloud, which is 90% less than what we have had for the last month.

Might get 4 or 5 there, But next Friday is still an option weather permitting

Planning to be there at 1900hrs so can set up while still a bit of light.

Pat

[newt]

Might make Mon, should be in work so will wait and see how the weather pans out and make a last minute decision.

[valleyman]

Reminder for Tonight, Still looking good with clear sky forecast. Will post on here at 17:00hrs to let people know Yes or No

Still Planning for Friday 4th MARCH so hope some can make it to there.

[Mark at Beaufort]

Yes thanks Pat for the update. I don't think I can make tonight now but I hope you get some clear skies.

Mark

[Psychobilly]

Clear skies Pat .. cant make it either

[valleyman]

Looks Like I will have a lonely night. Not much intrest at the moment.

[valleyman]

Having counted the numbers going I make it me +1 other so going to Cancel tonight.

Friday 4th March is still ON

Hope we can all meet then

Pat

[newt]

The forcast has been 0 - 1% cloud cover all day so I was all set to go.

Glad you cancelled! I'd have been gutted if I drove all way to Brecon to be met with this blanket of cloud!

They are forcasting 1% cloud cover for Friday already so we'll probably get thunderstorms......

[Psychobilly]

I have a day off Friday for a change if its looking like it will be clear I'll be there... I'll grab some "ugly" sleep during the day ..

Billy...

[Mr Flibble]

I was looking forward to going this evening but those clouds did not look like moving at all!

Did manage to get out sunday night for the first time in ages :-). Used the telrad for the first time - why didn't I get one earlier!!! Had about an hour in which I had a good look at Orion's sword before bagging M78, C41 and M45 in taurus, M35 in gemini and I split my second double - Castor. Then it started raining.
