tbird Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Rosie and myself are holding a 'Star Party' at our house on Saturday 22nd February. We're doing this as part of funding raising efforts to improve facilities at Badger Farm, so there will be a raffle with prizes donated by Nigel at Northern Optics. Start time is 7pm, but anyone with telescopes are welcome to come at set up in daylight if they wish. Refreshments will be provided If it's cloudy, we will have to retire to the lecture hall ( ie the garage ) PM me for more details Edited February 2, 2014 by tbird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbird Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Paul & Rosie's Star Party 22nd February 2014, 7pm on. I've moved the venue to the football club / village hall on the main road before our house ( LN11 7SS ). This will give us more parking and there's loads of room inside. There's plenty of space out the back on the pitches for observing. Everyone welcome, there's no admission charge but there will be a raffle ( prizes donated by Nigel of Northern Optics and Ron's wife Lynne ) and other fund raising in aid of East Lincs Astronomy Club's renovation of the meeting hut at Badger Farm. PM me for further details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Damn and blast it. I would really have liked to come to this. You and Rosie always lay on a good spread too! Good luck Paul and hope the evening goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Shame you can't make it, at least you've got some raffle tickets put aside. The football club should make a good venue, especially it it's cloudy. There's a large function room, kitchen and a separate lounge/bar area where partners can sit and moan about the astronomers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbird Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thanks Ron, not sure on numbers but a few of Rosie's friends are coming too. Can anyone who is coming who hasn't already done so, let me know, either reply to this thread, PM or on Facebook. Just need a check on numbers for the refreshments. The football club is easy to find on the main road, B1200, in Saltfleetby, LN11 7SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tibbz2 Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Indeed it was a great night, thanks to Paul and Rosie. (especially for the cakes!) At least the 30 mins of being slightly clear was a bonus after the forecast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Did it clear when I left?? Saw Orion etc on the way home!! Good night, thanks Paul and Rosie for all your hard work (& cakes!) Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbird Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 (edited) Thank you to everyone who came tonight and were so generous donating raffle prizes and buying tickets.

oldfruit Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Bonus, but it was more about giving a little for me. I have had the best couple of years in my Astronomy this last 2 years because of ELAC and the forum. Such a great bunch. Really pleased that the evening went well. Probably most gutted about missing Rosies cakes. She does always lay on a good spread at these meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
