Hi Guys

I really went to town on promoting the event via local radio and press. We had translations available in English, Spanish, French, German and Dutch. I set up a SM90 and my portable triple solar scope with DS PST at the port of Garrucha Almeria province of Spain. From about 9.30am until 12.30pm we got about 300 to 400 people taking a look at all different ages. I had arranged the location with the help of the town hall and Alfonso the local bar owner right on the beach. It was a great day and all enjoyed a generally cloud free event. We had loads of OMG comments, madre mia and WOW's and every one left with a smile on their face! Thanks for coming up with a brilliant idea Pam and Stephen

Hope you all had clear skies!

Regards

Andy
