cosmic dave Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 As I'm sure you all know by now BBC Stargazing Live is returning early next year. I had an email last Friday inviting ELAC and EMS (or both if you see what i mean) to a Stargazing Live event to be held at the Isaac Newton Primary school in Grantham on Friday January 11th 6.30 - 9.30 pm The Melton and district and Nottingham astronomical societies will all be at the event as well as local based Grantham astronomers. Please bring your scopes with you to set up outside if clear. This should be a busy stargazing live event, last year almost 300 attended. Let me know if you fancy it and I will advise the organisers, This is a great opportunity to promote astronomy and also elac/ems, I will certainly be attending.

Brantuk Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Lol Dave - that's cool I'm mentioning this in all the event threads : It might be an idea to note the kind of exhibits and activites they do. We may be able to incorporate them (or variations of them) when we finally get our own gig together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmic dave Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Got a reply back this morning re the stargazing live event we are going to, Hi David thats brilliant thanks.The event is at the Isaac Newton Primary School on Dysart Road Grantham.It starts at 6:30pm until 9:30pm on Friday 11 January. We can start setting up at 3pm on the sports field and cars can be put on the field to allow setting up and down plus its security for peoples kit. If the weather is going to be bad then we will cancel.Reasonable broken cloud then it will be a go,but about 48 hrs near the time we can decide.We could even just set up in the hall with the displays if the weather is cloudy. But i will leave you my number and i will email all parties as to the situation. My number is ########## Happy new year to you.

oldfruit Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 An unfortunate turn of events mean i will probably be unable to attend this meeting. My wife will be starting a new job on Monday and it is a back shift, 1600- midnight Monday to Friday which means i need to look after my children. As you guys know, i have attended every meet we have ever had so i will be sorely disappointed to miss out on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
