Anyone up for a bbq on the downs and watching what we can see of the sat night glow? :)

Yeah we are up for thisw time dependant.

[Shamrockez]

Night glow is at 9:30pm. Say meet at 7:30?

I dunno if we'll be able to see the balloons from the downs - I assume we will as they rise up? Soon find out I guess!
