ocarolan: Bernd, the first one was actually 2010 Akquarius.It them became Halifax Bash and now Huddersfield Bash. Any further moves, if this should ever become necessary, will thus need to be to a place beginning with H.

doc: Well no, but you can fly from Leeds. I’d miss interacting with the Huddersfield locals. Anyway Hawaii is all beaches and no knickers.

Wild Violet: Haworth or Holmfirth could be worthy contenders, though the current location (or the now remodeled Imperial Crown in Halifax) seems to be ideal for our group

Akquarius: ocarolan, Keith, of course, you're right. Which means that my first HB was in 2011, not 2010. Blimey, I had it all wrong for many many years

Akquarius: btw, don't Yorkshire people pronounce many words with an "H" in the beginning although there is none? That would give us a load of options

scorpiodog: Dunno about Yorkshire, but in 'ertford, 'ereford and 'ampshire 'urricanes 'ardly 'appen.

newdave: Andromeda is the nearest galaxy to our own Milky Way. it is more than 2.25 million light years away. If you are thinking about going there then I suggest you charge your phone and take a packed lunch with an extra apple.

minorkey: Andromeda is the furthest object visible to the naked eye

newdave: My mistake. Nearest galaxy to earth is Ursa Major III. Still a bit of a trek though.
