Just lettin' ya know!

Hi Seanie,

Yeah Roy, right, the last time I did that I was grounded for a week.

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better programs, and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.

Something is pencilled in every year, but as there is also the SSP, I don't know (as the committee has not decided yet) which of the 2 Saturday's will be the camping and barbecue night. Personally, I'm looking forward to it regardless of location! The last 2 were somewhat clouded out but MAC still had the camping, which was good craic.

*Event Information Required*

One of the best loved annual meteor showers will be upon us soon. In addition to the Skelligs Star Party, which some are attending, what are individuals and clubs hoping to do for the event this year elsewhere? I am compiling an article for some media outlets by request, and I would like to see what you are all getting up to!

Thanks,

Seanie.

So far, some people are heading down today to the pre-Skelligs Star Party for viewing of the Perseids.

Midlands Astronomy Club is hosting a casual observing session among members locally tonight AND their annual Perseids StarBQ on Saturday night, details here:

The Irish Astronomical Association are hosting their own event, also on Saturday night, details on their website at www.irishastro.org

Anyone else care to add anything extra?
