Even though our local team hasn’t set any records for number of games won, it’s still great fun to spend an evening cheering for them. Also this night: the featured act is the “Blues Brothers”, (sorry, John B won’t be there, except in spirit). I already have a total of 16 ticket requests, which is close enough to the 20 minimum, so this event is a “GO”. Parking can be tight, so it’s best to get there no later than 6:30. And don’t park too close to either the stadium or the other baseball field, unless you like living dangerously. However, if you need a new windshield…
For directions, or if you have questions please call me at 465-2788. You can also email me at Neil@firstname.com. The cost per ticket is $4.00, please pay me at the game. If you didn’t sign up, or weren’t at the August meeting, please let me know so I can be sure to have a ticket for you. This promises to be a fun night, weather permitting. It may be a bit chilly by then, so dress accordingly. Food (hot and cold) is available from several vendors inside the stadium, prices are reasonable. If you have a back problem you bring a chair pad.
Come root for our home team!
Star Party
Join us for the Annual NARC Star Party which will be held on Thursday, October 21 from 7:00 P.M. to 10:00 P.M. The star party will feature viewing with a 17” Dobsonian telescope. The planets Jupiter and Saturn will be visible. In case of cloudy weather, the star party will be postponed until Thursday, October 28. Because of the timely demise of the Hollis Hilton, the star party will move this year to the Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston (ATMoB) clubhouse in Westford, Mass. The clubhouse is on the grounds of the MIT Haystack observatory which features the “walk in” power supply that the radio club visited previously. Although a tour of Haystack will not be available, the ATMoB clubhouse will be open with demonstrations of telescope mirror making.
To reach the ATMoB clubhouse, drive down Rte 3 to the Rte 40 exit (Exit 33). Go Westbound for about 6 miles until you see the MIT sign shortly after you enter the town of Groton. Turn right and proceed ½ mile up the access road. The ATMoB clubhouse is the white farmhouse on the left.
The ATM’s favorite local pizza is from the Forge Village Pizza a few miles away; stay tuned for announcements from the Pizza Queen as we get closer to that date.
