Astrofest 2007

A short announcement to say that, contrary to advertising, Brian, Patrick and I will not be appearing at Astrofest this year. We hope to arrange some public appearances shortly, however.
Update : We have managed to reach an agreement with the organisers. There will be a short presentation, a chance to ask questions and a book signing.
New comment filtering software is up and running, so I’m going to relax the restrictions and see what happens.

Dear Chris,
What a great day at Astrofest! Sau-Wah and myself had a very rewarding experience. It was the Sky at Night that got us started on the astronomy kick to the extent that we now have our own GPS 8” telescope. At the present time we are building our own little house for it in the garden and hope to get into some CCD imaging in the near future. The skies are not too bad in Horsham most of the time. We wish you well in your new post at Oxford, I enjoyed my time there as a student many years ago, please pass on our very best wishes to Sir Patrick . It was great to note that his sense of humour is quite undiminished and we truly hope that his health improves, the world needs him. We both thought that Brian gave a really polished presentation and we wish him the very best with his thesis. Thanks to all three of you for the time that you gave to the book signing and the kind words and smiles that you all gave in spite of the fact that you must have all been very tired.
Kindest regards
Sau-Wah & Steve Barnett
