I hope to meet up with you all down there - it has been a while since I spent time in Kerry. I have accommodation booked nearby - very nearby - so will annoy some of you by looking over your shoulders during the weekend. As it stands, I doubt that I will be able to bring any gear with me - but who knows! First I have to concentrate on actually making it

Nice1 Kinch, it would be good
to finally meet in person, as for not bringing any if your gear, that's not allowed you have to bring your best setup.. Lol.. Only kidding, there will be a lot of gear and I'm sure nobody would mind you peeping over their shoulders.

Cheers Roy

All

At SSP last year a BBQ was started in aid of Barnardos children’s charity and €230 was raised for such a great cause.

The menu for 2015 is ready! Let us know what you think?

We will do 3 BBQ's this year. Please help yourself to food and pop some money in the donation jar after each meal if you wish (not expected).

For other nights that week the fire will be lit so your welcome to cook your own meat or I will cook it for you whilst I do mine. Kerry Lamb is very good or finger food may be appropriate for the Perseids. Vegetarians please bring some vegies and we can cook those too.

Nothing like a sun downer over Ballinskelligs bay, talking astronomy whilst sharing a few drinks as the scopes cool - all for a good cause.

Kind Regards and Clear Skies!

Looks fantastic Kevin ... am really looking forward to the Star Party this year. I've booked go go down Wednesday, the 12th, but am leaning towards maybe being in the Baltimore and Ballinskelligs areas a few days beforehand.

Thanks to you, Roy, Dave, Stephen, and William, for driving this event and putting it firmly on the astronomy calendar.

See you at Cosmos,

John
