FESTIVAL OF LEISURE 2012

23rd and 24th June

A lovely time was had by all the club members during the first day of the festival - albeit a little cold and wet at times!

Thanks to all the club members who came to set up on the Friday evening - even in a very strong wind we managed to keep hold of the tent and get the aerial errected!

Day 1 - Saturday

Members present - Lewis (Chairman), Bob, Peter, Jacqui, Steve, Robert and Isobelle - thanks to Pete, Jacqui, Lewis and Robert for operating today. We made some very interesting contacts with people ranging from Scotland to Ireland to the heights of Derbyshire and Bar Beacon! Very good. Lots of interesting chat was had about location, operating conditions and of course, the inevitable weather!

Only a couple of visitors to the station today!

We hope for better weather tomorrow.

Day 2 - Sunday

Members present - Lewis (Chairman), Bob, Peter, Jacqui, Steve, Robert and Isobelle, Callum, John - thanks to Pete, Jacqui, Lewis, Robert, Callum and 'hero' Steve, for operating today.
Contacts ranged from - Matlock to birmingham; from - Rome to Malaysia!!!! Fantastic!!!!


A few more visitors too - nice to see people taking an interest in our hobby and enquiring as to what and why and how we do what we do!!


Here's to next year....
