[AstroNet] KAT-7 PARTY IN THE KAROO

[Marina Joubert]

Exciting times for astronomy in Africa following yesterday's site decision -
widely reported as a huge victory for Africa in the media.
Please buy and keep newspapers this weekend . I'm hoping to collect "real"
cuttings from as many different newspapers as possible so that we can
preserve it in a album to remember this special time.
