I think this event is still on and the weather for the week is to improve. Who all is thinking about coming up?

It is planned to start at 8.30pm, although it doesn't really get dark until after 9.
We will be there by about 8.00pm to set up the telescopes
I was copied into an email today by the organisers, and, from what I can see, they are going to make a definite call tomorrow morning. They have my phone number.
I will post here tomorrow evening at around 5.30pm, when I get home, as to whether it is definitely on.

Many Thanks to all who came along last night. The appearance of the aurora made it an unforgettable event. Here's a note of thanks from Tierna.
Morning Stevie
Wow I'm pretty gutted I went to Florence & The Machine in Belfast last night it sounds like it was a fantastic night I have been hearing all about it as last 45 minutes. I'm really glad we did go ahead with it, as I was coming home from Belfast last night I did notice a clear sky and a few stars so was hoping you all had the same at Ballintoy- finally after a year we got to hold the event and what a success it has been.
Many many thanks for all your help in the run up to the event and especially last night we wouldn't have been able to hold the event without all your expertise and equipment. I will circulate a text to all those who attended to check if someone is missing a bracelet and let you know. Definitely keep us posted if you are up this way at any other time as we would be really keen to come out again.
Thanks again TiƩrna

Carlsberg don't do observing nights, but if they did........
Memorable night indeed! The North a Coast has a lot to offer.
