What to Bring

1. White light severely affects our (and your) night vision, so please use RED lights only where possible. It can take up to 30 mins to get your night vision.
   Haven't got a red-light torch? Just wrap 4 or 5 sheets of red cellophane over your torch secured by elastic bands.
2. If staying in the dormitories, you'll need to bring your own pillows and bedding (it can get cold!)
3. The kitchen is fully equipped, so you'll only need to bring food for the weekend.
4. Don't forget your scope, binoculars and a chair. If you don't own a scope, you can use a club one so just turn up.  There are usually plenty of telescopes on the field and members are always happy to let you view.

Please contact the club and let us know if you are coming.
