AstroFest 2008 Meet-up
On February 8th and 9th AstronomyNow are hosting the UK's biggest astronomy show - AstroFest 2008 - at Kensington Town Hall in London. Over the two days there are many talks covering the full range of astronomy: the solar system, Comet Holmes, Google Sky, black holes, pulsars, the Magellanic clouds and more. There will be some good speakers including famous comet discoverer David Levy (of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 fame). Inspired by the BAUT/Astronomy Cast AAS meetup in Austin I was wondering if UK-based astro folk want to have a meet up during AstroFest. Let me know in the comments below.

We ended up with about 60 people at the party, with visitors driving several hours to join us. It was well worth doing. Go for it!
