As a suggestion (well, Ronan said it already!), IF Tullamore was to be the venue, we could all have a camping/star gazing night as well. We did it for the Perseids barbeque last August out at our observatory/site. Many members have 4-person tents and so on. TAS will supply the barbeques, We'll have a camp fire, and a smaller fire for Bill's soup cauldren! 
I think we will have a nicer summer this year too.

Is the "car park" going to be big enough if lots turn up? It would be tight with more than half a dozen cars.
I'll be down camping again for the persieds regardless!And I'll remember to bring oil to fry breakfast in so we don't have boiled sausages this time!
Cheers,

Would you really try to have talks ??
Why not just have a BBQ, some beer, and observing into the wee hours, and crash out in the tent afterwards?
While we're at it, we could start a camp fire, cook some marsh mallow, and have a sing along
Seriously, though, As for Armagh, I'd like to go there, its a heafty journey, but I would go there if we all decided to go.
Regarding Tullamore, are we talking about the Tullamore observatory site??
