Is anyone planning on having a nose-bag or evening meal in town on Friday evening before things kick off or before the observing session? I was planning on rolling into Galway around 7pm-ish, and am just wondering if I need to feed the organism before leaving home!

A growly tummy makes Phil a grumpy astronomer :silly:

Phil.

Phil - myself and Fiona *might* be there around 7-ish. If so, would love to join you for a grumpiness-preventing nosh-up

Dave / Michael,

Excellent - looks like we have the beginnings of a whooley! I'll give Dave a bell when I roll in, as I have his number, and perhaps we can meet (and eat?) in the hotel and still make kick-off.

Phil.

One of these days the planets will align and I'll be able to make it to one of these things



Cosmos maybe

You never know, 'Knight Rider' might even be ready by then! :laugh:

I can't make it to another Astronomy Festival....AGAIN..!

So the weather prospects must be good!! :laugh:


....or not! Metcheck says 100% cloud on the Friday and Saturday and clear on the Sunday. Typical!! Though its a little bit far out on Wednesday afternoon to put 100% faith in the forecast.
