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.

Best of luck to all the organisers for the festival, and to all the attendees have a great time. I can't get there this year
Don't let those dealers take all your money with their smooth salesmen's talk. :laugh:

Boy what a great event, well worth the long trip and always great to meet up in person and make new acquaintances. Excellent talks today and a special video message from commander Chris Hadfield to start our day I knew we were all in for a special time. Finished off with an excellent evening dinner and a few pints of beer, well what more can you ask for. Hats off to Ronan and the GAC crew in facilitating a great day. Glad the table quiz didn't go ahead as Terry would have won it on his own anyway, lol!

To all associated with GAC you all deserve a VERY big pat on the back.. A truly brilliant event yesterday, amazing line up of speakers (the Commander Hadfield opening was a super touch)..A big thank you to Ronan Newman and Brian MaMacGabhann for letting us fly the Skellig Star Party flag, it is very much appreciated.. Looking forward to 2016 already..
Cheers Roy

Congratulations on organising another successful Astronomy Festival. In particular, thanks to all of you in Galway Astronomy Club for the hard work and dedication. I had a wonderful time at the Festival, the exhibition was the biggest I have seen this year and the talks were impressive. What was special for me was meeting others and making new friends, the dinner and craic was brilliant. In my opinion , this was even a better Galway Astronomy Fest in all the years I have attended. All I can say for those who missed this one make sure you put this in your calendar for 2016, you will not be disappointed.
