*Stickied for easy finding!*

In fairness Seanie, it would take at least a month to drop off the front page anyway. Stickying can often have the opposite effect to the desired one. I know on all the other forums I frequent I never check out the stickies because I assume they are the same stickies that have always been there !

Thanks to everyone came along to our Star party yesterday. Was great to see such a big and enthusiastic crowd in attendance which numbered over 100 people during the closing lecture about CERN. Also thanks to the many members from other IFAS clubs were there
