[Chaos-l] Staunton River Star Party a Reality

[Jayme Hanzak]

Thanks for the promotion Walter. The dates for the Star Party are actually March 21st to the 25th and there is plenty of space for 

star party enthusiasts. Walter is correct in that the cabins are going fast. 

  

We will post more information early next week as far as the fees go.

Jayme presented the latest plans on CHAOS's Staunton River Star Party at last night's meeting in addition to Mike Gallagher's excellent if somewhat whacky (you know Mike) presentation at last night's meeting.  This star party is scheduled for Thurs. Mar 22 to Sun. Mar 25 at the Staunton River State Park just over the state line in Virginia (prob a bit less than 2 hrs drive from here ) and it's really going to happen!  Jayme and others have made plans for a MASPesque type event with talks, food, vendors as well as a dark site.  I made a reservation for a 2 bedroom cabin today and there are others that are still available.  I think that I probably have enough family coming to fill my cabin (although we can accomodate visitors if it's cold, rainy or otherwise inclement) but I would suggest that those who are planning on going think about carpooling and sharing a 2 bedroom cabin which would cut the cost in half (even less if you "pack 'em in!").  I haven't been to the park yet but Jayme has made several trips and these star parties will be regular club events that may well grow into regional events.  The Richmond Astronomy Club is interested in participating as well as the Raleigh Club so get those cabins quick !  Of course there is also space for tents and I think that there are also plans for RV spaces.  A website describing all of this in detail will be up soon but I got excited and wanted those interested to get those cabin reservations now.  This will put CHAOS as well as Staunton River State Park on the map.  Start making plans .  Walter
