Oops!

I assumed they had updated the site what with it being only two months away....

[The Warthog]

Oooo! I'd love to go. I would love to meet Patrick Moore, and I see Ian Ridpath is one of the chairs. I have one of his books, which I find very useful on the moon.

[lunator]

I'll be there.

I can usually make both days as I live & work in London.

Cheers

[SteelRat]

Am housebound myself now after my recent scope sessions. Hope everyone enjoys it

OOh, thats clever. Do you have to keep hold of it because of the decreased gravity up there ? :moon:

Two of us are flying down from Glasgow on the Friday AM and flying back up on the Saturday night - now there is dedication [or stupidity] for you. We intend to catch the Fri PM and both Saturday sessions. We are keen to see Patrick Moore "in the flesh" as it were. Seems to be some good speakers and a range of Astro gear retailers - so should be a good couple of days.

I take it that the "2006" Is a typo on the web page!

Saturday for me...

If anyone is going from Devon, I can take 4 friends FOC on the train on my passes (From St. David's or Taunton)......Exchanged for beer tokens of course.

You'll have to sort out your own tube ticket.... And buy me lunch!

PM me if interested.

Greg

PS. Looking at the diary I could go Friday as well..

[Greg]

They havn't updated the web page so the above date is wrong.

I beieive the correct date is the weekend of the 8th/9th Feb.

I have p[lans on that weekend so I won't be going

I will be there for the Sat morning session, but are Patrick Moore and Co on? Yes in Astronomy Now 2007 year book, but a totally different line up on the web last time I looked! Orion

Hi - My First post.

The Astronomy Now website shop is selling tickets for each of the four sessions, but the links are still showing the 2006 line up. Does anyone have a link for the 2007 sessions. These are taking place Friday 9th and Sat 10th and I'm planning to go to the Sat PM session when hopefully Alan Chapman will be on stage.

[mark RD]

Wellcome to the furum astropa

I think the best bet is to try and call them to book tickets,

for anyone who needs the phone number here it is 01732 446106

I will be there on one of the two days. It would be nice to meet other SGLs at the meeting, how about wearing a sticker or badge with SGL written on it so we all could recognise a member.
