Hi, I would really like to attend the meeting if it's ok? It would be great to meet you all. It depends on other commitments and I'd have a better idea closer to the time but as it's fairly close by me it would be a shame to miss the opportunity. |

Looking forward to the Bash I'm gonna start the ball rolling with a donation of £10 for the hall hire, I know how much time and effort organising these events take. we don't want Al sat at the bbq trying to raise funds for the hall all weekend lol. So come on chaps lets make the weekend a little easier for the guys doing the organising.

Thank you Steve, we do need to charge a small amount for camping and will have the hat ready to accept any donations on the day but nice to have £10 to look forward to so again a big thank you. Hope you still want a burger though lol Looking forward to it, lots of new names interested and the long term weather forecast is for a long hot summer, although I`ll believe that when I`m sat outside the hall in me shorts enjoying a nice cold beer ![]() Al |

HI Al. Looks like everything is coming together for me now, trailer tower was easy at Brandside, now designing a 5 element OP DES, which might become a 6 element by the time July weekend comes around. I have got the driven element built, the rest will follow very easily. I just hope the weather is kind to us. Andy 591/p

This was a test run for the trailer tower at Buxton, also I was taking part in a 24 hour VHF contest on 2 mtr. Tower goes in nicely, will look even better with a 5 or 6 element for 11 meter on top of it. Andy 591/p |
