Super job ... looks like fun ... pity about the lack of sun, it was obviously shy that day, it's made up for it since!

Just as a bit of an update on this, Keele have produced their annual report - a nice feature on the CBSAP outreach event on page 11.

Also, I believe they now have a Lunt 152... me thinks a return visit is in order... International Sun Day? :whistle:

Me thinks a return visit there would be an excellent idea for International SUN-day Mark! ;)
