Hello
I am a Girl Guide Leader at Harristown. After the stargazing event last year I was able to buy 40 of the telescopes that were sold at the event. As yet they have not been used !!
I read in the chronicle that Toowoomba Astronomy are hosting a learn to use a telescope night this Saturday. I am contacting you in the hope I may be able to arrange such an evening for our Girl Guides aged from 6 – 17 years.
I can be contacted by email - hodgefamily2@bigpond.com or by phone – 46 307 919 / 0413 609 100

Thankyou
Desley Hodge

Thank you to everyone who supported us in our raffle.

Jamie at Anaconda, Toowoomba was kind enough to support us in providing some of their awesome gear to raffle off to help us raise some funds.

After having to cancel our planned stargazing night due to cloud cover, we were finally able to draw the raffle at tonight's general meeting.

I am happy to announce that Fiona Annand was the lucky winner. So thank you again everyone who supported us and we look forward to seeing all of you at our upcoming events.
