In before 20! Sounded ace indeed

Bravo hairnetnic! Your first Astronomical Observatory Stargazing ride looks to have been a great success! Now I'm even more excited about the second one - no pressure, hint, hint ;)

Will there be 20 places again?

Yeah, it seems to have gone down well! I'll speak to the director next week and see what I can do...

I want to do this ride again tomorrow!

Surely +1s count as two, so it seems there are no more places left already :(

I suppose this may change when the date's been fixed...

^ Where was it taken??

it was talken on the bmx track in Brockwell park.

Pethaps for velocio a shorter ride directly to Mill Hill would be good or riding when it is much warmer

Good point Miss Mouse. Sorry I should have included Missus Hovis as a separate line. List updated with numbers.

Hey not to be a pain… I was taken off the b list on the day of the ride. There was no way of me to really come along so I'd like to be kept in the mix for any repeat rides. Thank you.

so do I now have to sign up in advance to possibly get a chance to go on a ride that may or may not happen?

You'd be glad you did - a speculative adding of your name to a list won't cost you much, but if the ride happens and you're on it, you'll thank your lucky stars.

err, yes. 6 dropped out of the first ride and I'd be keen on spares as there is a minimum cost to opening the observatory...

I'll let people know as soon as possible, probably on the weekend of the 22nd Feb.

List admin. Also let Nic know if:

1) like what happened to Temp, got promoted last min but couldn't go, so got bumped off List 2.
2) paid but dropped out of the ride - Velocio was the only one?
3) got on to Ride 1 but is still on List 2 - I think Bison was the only one?
4) You didn't pay

5) Add yourself if you dropped out of List 1 and still want to go on to List 2/Ride 2

What if you got on ride 1 but want to go again?

#greedy

(Not really serious but I would do it again in a flash).

There must be an algorithm for this. All rather confusing...

Thank you, thank you.

Well you could go on the backup list to the possible second ride...

Well technically you don't have to ;)

You should though - bound to be cancelations.

^ http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cancelation had 5 mins on google looking that up, one 'L' or two ? but then you do have a literary degree!!

Two 'l's.

Bloody autocorrect. Bloody tiny screen. Bloody Americans. Grrrr.

As posted in the astronomy thread: New supernova in M82. This was discovered during a routine observation at ULO, Mill Hill!

Love the website, Clark Kent and Lois Lane's Daily Planet pales into insignificance compared to Universe today.

Looks like we have the go ahead for a second ride!

provisional date is Saturday 8th March, please check you're free and commit early as the closer to 20 riders on the list the better all round.

I'll put up a new thread when firm confirmation comes in from the observatory.
