tbird Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) For the next meetings at Badger Farm ( 3rd May and 28th June ) we have a guest speaker, Chris Roche. Chris is a member of the North Lincs Astro Society and is a regular speaker for them. The 3rd May talk is titled 'Where Have You Been Tonight?' and for June 28th we have 'Imagining the Unimaginable' The meeting time is 7pm with the aim to start the talks at 7:30pm. We have use of the teaching room Susi uses for her basket weaving classes and also the small cafe. These are located at the farm buildings at the very end of the track that runs alongside the meeting field. If clear we will be observing as usual in the field once it is dark. Can those planning to attend please respond to this thread or email Dave on the ELAC site so we have an idea of numbers for refreshments, thank you. Usual fees apply.

tbird Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thanks Ron, Susi is busy next weekend at the 'Spirit of the Marsh' event but after that I'll ask for the key when I take her the monies for use of the site. We have the use of the 'Barn' for the next 3 meets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest @ndyC Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I would have loved to attend this weekend but i'm taking the missus out for our anniversary. The talks sound interesting and the developments in the site are a positive step, the talks are a great idea and will make the evenings even more enjoyable. Hope you all get clear sky's.

oldfruit Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Very enjoyable evening. Thanks to Chris Roche for a very interesting talk that he gave this evening. Thanks also to Paul (tbird) for supplying refreshments and to Dave and Clare for a fine choice of biscuits. A good turn out tonight despite the weather. After the talk we did manage to get a look at Mars, Jupiter and the Moon. The usual chit chat later on as the clouds obscured everything. Nice to see everyone.

stash Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Good talk and early views and it did clear (a bit) at 12.00 - Did it again lost a screw on finder ring Good job my head is attached to my body . Like the "posh" tea room and the waiter did excellent service with teas etc. That hill is going to be fun in the winter especially the steps - need to get fitter - bad since dog died.

stash Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Just spent 1 hr creating new screw for finder with plastic tip - works as short term fix https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9aHac2P5RgVQXN1YzhqZUk5MGM/edit?usp=sharing Did you notice the chrome screw at the top of the pic ? Guess what I found in my case - yep the missing screw - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
