Yes Aaron told me you were one of his school mates.
Ive posted out invitations to the CCC, Geog dept at the University,MetService plus there are a few 'phone calls I have to make.
I plan the meet to be quite informal, in true NZTS fashion, but I want this to be an establishment of other weather meetings and not clashing with the MetSoc meets for this year ( That's why I thort a Wednesday night be more appropriate!)

Will be there John.

Man I got to get that last report for that saturday night lightning storm up in Feb, I've just been to busy, will get to soon and do it.

Now editied (12:30pm) : Just thought I might add, a very nice day here in Chch with sun and no wind (that I know of), latest metvuw temp readings at 10am say 20 C but I suspect it has gone over that a bit by now. But that NE could pick up though which I fear!

Thanks to the members of this forum who attended the recent CWW meet.
Good to put faces to names.
Any ideas for future meets? :roll:

Bob Crowder would be keen to have a slide evening at his house. :D

Clarrie Hodgson and his amazing weather recollections over the years.
Amazing guy. 83 years old and he has a tale to tell :)

Maybe a meet at Steven Grahams and showing us views through his telescope ???? :-s
