No worries John. How about 4pm then, gives you time to settle in after coming home from work.

3rd September, 4pm at Johns! I'll send out private messages to those attending with John's address details within the next day or two then to others who decide to come along.

attendance list:

John
Richard
Steve
Aaron
Mikey
Jase

Hopefully more to come

Cheers

Does anyone know Andrew Massie's contact as I would like to invite him as well. :smile:

Anyway, as I said on Richard's PM

Just bring yourself and whatever.
Will provide "Cheese on Toast" from the AGA for something to eat.
As my computer is a bit old, I'm suggesting people to bring their laptops whatever for showing photos, vidoes ,You Tube etc. The TV is accesible for laptop connections.
I hope Bob Crowder will come along as well.

Haven't heard back from Paul Gorman or Tony T.
If they turn up they do, it would be fantastic.
Could be good if Jim Hickey or BobMcDavitt could come along.
Even Michael Fish or Augie Auer but there may be some problems there? :-s

I'll let you talk to Tony and Paul John as your presidential status would have pulling power :D Would be good if they could come, agreed.

Paul Gorman from the PRESS said that he will turn up as well.
So it looks as though there might be a good meet here. :smile:

A good meet of the ChCh members of the Forum.
Lots of issues were discussed.
Good to see Paul Gorman from the PRESS here and also Bob Crowder.
Here is a picture of the guys today glancing towards "Thunderstorm Corner"

It was an enjoyable evening, just a pity there was so little action in "Thunderstorm Corner" though

Yes, that was a good meet in a great location - thanks to John for hosting it.

Another picture of the guys ... spot the difference to find John :wink: Richard and Steve are not asleep, that's just my bad timing #-o

My photo of the sundog was washed out and the auto-focus failed so the second photo is the sweep panorama of the sky above Thunderstorm Corner I took a bit later.
