AL,
Was good to see you and Min there. Thanks for coming. Sorry I didnt have time for a good ol chinwag. I was running around like a mad hen all night. I did go looking later but couldn't find you. It was a shame about the cloudy skies. We got about 30 minutes of clear skies early on but it wasn't even fully dark at that point. Because it was cloudy the idea is the event is run again minus the caterer, i.e. just the scopes.
The same invite goes out for the re-run which will happen on the next (moon free) Friday or Saturday that clear skies are forecast. Last years event needed a re-run too. The re-run was a cracking night. So if anyone would like to come along to the this re-run you'd be most welcome.
Kieran I can assure you that the late notice was purely down to last minute thinking.
Anyway I'll give plenty of notice next year when the same invite will stand.
Hope a few at least can come to the re-run.

I left around 10 when the skies had pretty much clouded over. I'd hoped to get to chat to yourself and Carl but you both seemed run off your feet.
Cheers,

DeeGee (),
I was out of the country, but would have like to add that if I had been around, I would have taken up on that nice offer. I hope the event went well, despite the clouded skies. Better luck next time.
