<font size="2">Ok, I'll be outside the OGG building at 6:30pm tonight. (I might be on the opposite side of the road as the buses can be agrressive if you stop in their spot). The car is a Metallic Blue Toyota Wish.
<br />
<br />Look forward to seeing everyone there.
<br />
<br />Cheers,

<br />> Just to clarify, the planetarium show is first, with
telescope viewing afterwards. The whole thing runs for about 1.5hrs, but they
will stay open longer if lots of people are still keen. I expect that the
planetarium show runs for about 45 - 60mins. If you're leaving directly
after the show, people who want to leave early could join you, with others
returning home via bus as planned.
<br />>
<br />> I called Stardome this
morning and checked capacity, and made a booking for 15 people. At the moment we
have 17 people down on the wiki list, but I expect at least a few will bail for
various reasons (and that's totally OK, of course). I haven't paid any
money, and they seem OK with us turning up with less than 15 people and not
charging us for the extra seats..

Consider yourself contacted. :-) But I'll text you shortly as well to
make sure you see this. Perhaps you could bring your car around to the front of
the OGGB before 6:30pm tonight and we can allocate seats on a greatest
need/first come basis. I think it's sensible to prioritise anyone with
mobility needs first. One you're full, the rest of us will bus it. We do
need to set off walking at 6:30pm, so if you're not there you'll be
travelling solo. :-)
<br />>
<br />> If people who put their name on the wiki
but are now not planning to come along could update the wiki and remove
themselves, that would be great. If we end up significantly less planning to
come along, I'd like to be able to give Stardome a heads-up as a
courtesy.
