Events / New Moon Weekends
Each year we
will present the CSPG Members' Spring Picnic
and the CSPG Fall Star Party: a week long
event: the primary source of our revenue. The field used for
the star parties is open to all people year-round.
Green Lasers - Green Lasers are prohibited at all CSPG registered events.
New Moon WeekendsThe field and all facilities are open to members, rain or shine, every new moon weekend Friday - Sunday. See the table below for actual dates.
Most new moon weekends the field and facilities are open from Wednesday - Monday, but please check with one of the keyholders if you plan on arriving / staying outside of the Friday - Sunday window.
If you would like to use the field and/or facilities at a time other than a new moon weekend, you will need to contact a keyholder to make special arrangements.
Guests are welcome to 'try before you buy' and visit the field either by themselves or with another member, but must contact one of the keyholders prior to visiting.
