Brantuk Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Ok Folks - the list has changed once more but I think this will be the final version. Unfortunately Mike (Demonbarber on SGL) can't make it and he's offering the pitch to another SGL'er called Rob (robieince). So if he goes ahead and buys it (which I've every reason to believe he will) then that will be who's on 238. Perhaps some of you might already know Rob and I've been chatting with him and he seems a nice chap who's very keen - so do make him feel welcome in true EMS style as I'm sure you will. So the final list looks more like this: 240 - Steve 239 - Kh3ldar & Eddy 238 - Robieince 237 - Cgolder 229 - PhilJ 228 - David Pugh 227 - Glider 226 - Ron 225 - Baz Senior 224 - Rusty Strings 223 - Sheila 222 - geeznova 218 - Celeste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantuk Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Well we arrived on Sat - just got the pitch set up finished this morning lol - so far had two nights of glorious dark skies despite the light pollution from the great unwashed surrounding us - looking forward to getting the scopes out but it won't be tonight - rain and thunder forecast unfortunately - but clearing up towards mid-week - the skies are stunning chaps - could see the milky way clear as a bell and the morning sky with Jupiter, Venus, Cresent Moon, Pliedes, and Orion all up at once is awesome. Everything stands out like a sore thumb lol. Will do a report when we get our first obs session in - see you all on Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgolder Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Sounds quality mate, I would have come early but couldn't get the time off ;-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Sorry you couldn't make it Colin. I only just scraped it with EMS1 as well, I have no days left this year, and ten gone already for next year. That is Kelling, booked and paid for already. How's the family, I'll bet the girls have shot up since we last met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tweedledum Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Have a great time folks...Wish I was there .. CHEERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Well, after a uneventfull steady pedal over here, we arrived yesterday, blagged a brew off Di & Kim, and set up camp. After a meal we had a walk round over the red field, the sky wasn't too bad with high cloud floating over. I spent time with an obliging chap called Clive with a nice 17.5 inch dob. Today we will spend time setting up the scope and getting a bit more organised, it's a bit sparse over on blue field at the momnent, so we are looking forward to a few more arriving. WiFi is limited to the bar, which is a dreadful blow! See Ya soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Strings Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 You were missed mate. We had 3 out of 3 clear nights eventually although saturday's seeing wasn't as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 An absolutely bosting time with 3 clear nights, loads of objects bagged and the drive back was almost 2 hours shorter than the drive there, no roadworks to divert round. A memorable event again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kheldar Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Brilliant weekend! Clear skies, far too much alcohol, lovely BBQ and great friends. What more could we of asked for? .... Well a table fire would of been nice Martyn, you broke tradition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Great weekend and I even gave Martyn a table to set on fire as I wanted to watch, but it came back unburnt. Loved every minute, even the complete lack of sleep. Awesome Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
