Description: Saturday 30th January 11 am to 4 pm, followed by a braai and test-viewing through the telescopes.

There is work to be done to clean up the telescpope domes and check the functioning of the telescopes.

Some wooden doors have been exposed to the elements and have swollen, making opening and closing difficult. Some carpenter's tools such as plane, sanding machine etc would be useful. There is also a lot of grass around, and a few weed-eaters would deal with it nicely.
A hedge is very overgrown and some gardener's secateurs would be very useful there.

If you are feeling energetic and useful, come along and help get the domes and telescopes sorted ahead of our Mars Viewing Evening on Friday 12th February.
