Hi All The next Society meeting is on Sunday 11th August 7:30 PM at Pedro's Castle.
Ive been told there is a big wedding the day before so hopefully the “lights” will have been broken down (!) by the time we get there. If its still flood lit then we will move to the cemetery across the road.
Where ever we are remember to dip your car headlights on approach.
Members of the public are welcome free of charge but its only a modest 25 CI to join us.
If the weather looks bad - and by that we mean more than 50 percent cloud cover - the meeting will be cancelled. If in doubt ring me at 7:30 PM on 925 7657
Clear Skies !!
