The venue is a lovely dark site and also not far from the beach. Also as has been mentioned before, it is only about 15 or 20 mins from gibraltar point if anyone fancies visiting it? Plenty of time to make arrangements.

My missus won't be up for it unfortuately, it's just not to her taste. I would love to get her into it but I don't think it will happen. :(

The one in the opening post: [email protected] got a reply in 2 days I think it was, or something like that. Maybe you caught them at a busy, or bad time before?

I thought this could be a fairly cheap & cheerful weekend - the way it's going with potential dealers and a astro boot sale it could end up far from it! ...but I like it lol

Right guys Nigel from nothern optics is going to have a small stall on the Saturday at the starparty, I have contacted a few other dealers to see if anyone else wants to do the same, I'm not planning on a load of stalls just people we know really, Now next question is there any ems members prepared to give a lecture coming ?

How about an imaging masterclass for us aspiring DSLR photographers? A two-parter - capturing at night and then processing the following day.

Any takers????

I'm getting the word "Glider" ......

He does a fabulous talk on post processing - and is great doing a practical demo of setting up and capturing - when he's not chatting up lady boys that is lol. Check out his 3-part tutorial on "the shed" :)

I for one would be very interested in something like this. I t is one thing to read about it, but practical demonstrations are always the best. I would immagine there to be quite a few takers if someting like this were available on that weekend.
