Astronomy in Yorkshire Dales
Hi Steve,
You are kind of in the middle of quite a few non-local AS where you are. South you have York AS, Harrogate AS, and Leeds AS, east you have Scarborough & Rydale AS, North you have Cleavland & Darlington AS, but I can't think of one really local to you. Maybe it's a sign for you to start a new one :-). York AS have a big public Star Party at the top of Sutton Bank, in the visitor's car park, on Saturday the 15th of December if you feel like a drive? 6:30pm onwards. Very best wishes and clear, dark skies. -- Paul B, York, UK. York Astronomical Society www.yorkastro.co.uk Please buy from the YAS web shop and help YAS raise funds "Steven Gill" wrote in message ...

Any special reason you need IE6 ? It is ok and resizable in Firefox Or for not spell-checking it? a Society should be able to spell its own name and the location of its recent AGM correctly every time. yada yadayada, _get_a_life_, it was all perfectly unnerstannable, I suggest you decamp to an engleesh language newsgroup. It is claptrap like your funnelweb spider activities that contribute to the death of usnet groups like thisun. |

If you want to create a good impression and persuade people to take you seriously, presentation is important, whether online or off.
