BAZ Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 HAPPY BIRTHDAY EAST MIDLANDS STARGAZERS WELL THAT YEAR WENT QUICK DIDN'T IT! Since the original EMS forum was launched on SGL, by Doc and Cosmic Dave, a huge number of changes have happened. Firstly, ten local Astronomers got together, and thought it would be a good idea to get together to observe and share idea's. EMS on Stargazers Lounge came into being. A dark site at Sawley was found and paid for, and EMS had it's first dark site. As the membership grew, the need to be able to control the site ourselves became evident, as did the need for another dark site. A year ago today the EMS you all know and love was launched. ​Since then things have gone from strength to strength, the membership has grown, Belper was obtained, and we held our own star party, which was a resounding success. Now we have access to Wymeswold Cricket Club and it's facilities, adding yet another darksite accessible to the Leicestershire members. Sadly, Sawley has now been relinquished, but it served us well to begin with. I don't miss the smell of the brook one bit. Above all the one thing that makes this all work so well is simple. It's you, the members of this forum. So a big thank you to everyone, for your good humour, willingness to help others, and contributions to this amazing place.

+DaveJW Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Without EMS I doubt that my interest in Astronomy would have been re-kindled - at least not to the extent that it has. Thanks everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
