EVENT REPORT - Dave Owen - This event had reasonable weather but local light pollution, from the holoiday camp less than 200 yards away, took the edge of an otherwise clear sky. Brendan Martin brought along his 10 inch Dobsonian, Jim Stacey had his Celeston C6 and Dave Bentley had his 85mm refractor.
Geoff Regan did an indoor presentation, using the LAS slide projector and Steve Southern's PC projector.
The numberr of visitors was estimated to be about 30.
