Star party 3/29-30 - this weekend

Post by jjones7777 »

Greetings all,

I just checked with Vic on the condition of the field at CGO for this weekend's star party. He said it is out of the question to use the parking lot. Depending upon the weather conditions, the field might be slippery if it is cold and windy.

So,if you DO go, please do NOT park in the parking lot and be careful using the field.

All,

I just received an update from Vic from Dave Venne regarding the CGO field conditions:

"By Friday/Saturday, I think the only usable places will be the observatory and the old BAD concrete strip. Walking around the warming house will not be good, either."



The parking lot probably continues to be off limits

Thanks for your willingness to abide by these constraints. It will make the parking lot and the field more usuable for all of us in time. Hopefully for next week.
