TV meetup in Solihull and collection of bits-and-bobs.
 

Hi everyone.

There are a few forum members coming round to my house in Solihull on Saturday the 6th of November to pick up TV-related bits-and-bobs etc. but if anyone else wanted to come round and make it into a bit of a meetup and bring some rubbish to swap with other people's rubbish then everyone is welcome. It might be useful as a place for the Forum Courier Service to hand over stuff.

There are plenty of pubs around for lunch etc. and Tea / Coffee / Biscuits etc. will be provided.

Anyway, if you fancy it then let me know with a post here and I'll PM you the details.

Thanks everyone.

Kind regards.

From Mike.

Count me in Mike :)

I'd love to come along but I'm otherwise occupied in central Birmingham until around 4pm, so by the time I got to Solihull chances are everyone else will have left!

Thanks Lee, Tas, Paul, Neil and Steve - It'll be great to see you all.

Yes, of course you are all welcome to come along.

I shouldn't worry about that Paul - there have usually been people still here way beyond 17:00 when we've had these things in the past so you are very welcome to drop by.

Thanks all.

Kind regards.

From Mike.

Hi Mike.
I wish I could come, unfortunately it's a little too far and with the darks nights coming in would make it a tedious drive.
I certainly would come if you did it again perhaps earlier in the year.
Have a successful meet up, I am sure it will be, ours up here have been great.

Hi Mike,

Yes please. I had intended to go to Harpenden yesterday, but problems with my younger daughters car (the immobiliser) required urgent attention, as she needs it for her job as a Belly Dance teacher - I think the problem is solved .

What time do "doors open"?

Best Wishes

Hi Mike,

Perhaps I could gate crash too ?

TTFN,

Hey Mike,

Have you got a nice dusty old Pye hybrid that hasn't been plugged in for years?

I'd love to see Jon cowering behind your kitchen door again;D

Cheers

What about the scary Ekco CT122 with the EHT escaping all over the place8-o?

Re: TV meetup in Solihull and collection of bits-and-bobs.
 

I take it Jon is a bit of a woos? Perhaps HKS should go and plug them all in!

Hi Trevor, Alan, Jon, Lee and Tas.

Alan and Jon - Yes, please do come along - You will be very welcome.

Tas and Lee - Well, I have the virgin Pye CT70 upstairs which is still full of dust and cobwebs and dead spiders which we could have a go at resurrecting or indeed the Ekco with its "space ship about to blow up" EHT noises, but that one isn't quite as interesting. Or the D/S G6 which I was going to leave for Tas and Lee to fix for me (they being much cleverer and braver than me) but that looks a bit TOO scarey for the rest of us wendy-woos. (Well, too scarey for me anyway.) :)

Trevor - That's a shame you can't make it but if you change your mind then you will still be very welcome.

Yes I will also make a trip to Solihull. Is Sutton Coldfield still transmitting 405 or has it gone over to colour at last? I'll bring my crocodile clips with a 5amp 2 pin plug on the end. I don't want to see any lamp limiters/ballasts/ variacs or woos pieces of test equipment. Looks like it could be fun! Regards, John.

You forgot the electric toaster John.

No. I prefer a two bar fire...J.

Hello Mike,

I very much enjoyed my last visit and would like to come this time, but unfortunately other committments prevent it.

I hope you all enjoy the day, regards to anyone who knows me. :)

Re: TV meetup in Solihull and collection of bits-and-bobs.
 

That's excellent that you can make it John. Sorry you can't get here Dave, but feel free to just turn up if you change your mind on the day. :)

I'll send out PMs with details this evening.

Re: TV meetup in Solihull and collection of bits-and-bobs.
 

Great, thanks. Perhaps we can swap mobile numbers by PM then I can text you when I'm on my way and you can let me know if everyone has left early.
