[sac-forum] Re: Last night's meeting and new site

Was unable to make last SAC meeting. If the "official" star party is still 11 Feb., what site was chosen for it? 

Thanks,    Janis

Howdy SAC;

Well, it was great to have a room full of folks.  That is as packed at I
have seen that room in many years.  That is the reason I mentioned there
will be a future (May) Novice Group Meeting. 
Also great to see Jerry Maurer and Gerry Rattley at a meeting.  Wow, are we
getting older.

We certainly had an interesting cross section of show and tell, how many
other astronomy clubs in the world had a meeting with two presentations
about binocular chairs??

All the flyers with the maps on them were gone when I looked, so hopefully
we will have some feedback from people trying out the two sites over the
next couple of months.  The good news is that we don't need a replacement
for Flatiron right away and by May we will be back up at Cherry Rd.  So,
maybe by October we can come to a consensus about what we wish to do. 
I see three choices, keep Flatiron for as long as possible, move to one of
the two sites just discovered (Dirt Blvd or Saddle Mt.) or keep looking for
a better site in that part of the state.  We can decide once we have some
more information.

It sure is fun to be a SAC member;
