Davoud:
I don't believe that my club has a written rule. But nobody smokes on
the observing field at our star parties, which are held in a county
park that is large enough to permit smokers to move some distance away
when they want to light up. In today's social climate that is
considered proper behaviour no matter what the occasion or venue. We
have bought a 10-ft dome that will house a restored antique refractor
for use in public outreach. Smoking will definitely be banned in the
observatory.

Trailer Trash ReUnion:
You better oput a smoke detector in it for proof! I guarantee you
some jerk will smoke int heir sometime - absolute guarantee of the
priveleged class (the same assholes that dont want telescopes covcered and
dont want to pay for a gate key who are the club Presidnet's best friend)!

Sorry to hear about the problems your club is having.

Davoud
