[ATMoB-discuss] WHS Astro Club

[George Roberts]

Some kids at my local High School decided to 
start an Astronomy club.  How cool is that!!!

They invited me to the first meeting and I thought it 
would be nice to show up at the clubhouse some 
Saturday night (about 6 High School kids) where 
we can corner them and twist their arms into joining 
(kidding - no pressure).  But I have only been there 
once in the past 2 years (used to go all the time).  
It's supposed to rain this Saturday but likely clear 
up nicely by 8pm (or not!).

1) Is this an okay thing to do as far as the club is 
concerned (show up with 6 nerdy coed 
non-atmob-member high schoolers and 2 science 
teachers)?

2) Is any Saturday night going to likely have people 
there with scopes who are willing to show us stuff 
or should I check first - and how often is the 
club-telescope opened up?  I think we would skip 
a full moon night but this Saturday it sets around 
8:30pm so that might be ideal.

3) I seem to remember the club has loaners.  A couple 
kids already have scopes but if one or two join atmob 
can they borrow 'scopes from the club?
