Default Re: Spalding & District Amateur Radio Rally - Sunday 2nd June 2019

The reason is clearly stated in large red letters on the SDARS site - the venue is a youth football club:

"Please note that as the rally is being held on playing fields used by young people, dogs are not permitted anywhere within the site including the car park".

Unfortunately, not all dog owners are responsible. One in five recreational areas in England report that dog fouling is a problem, and poses serious health risks of toxocariasis.

Back on topic, I've always enjoyed this rally, have been many times over the years and it sounds as though there will be just as much space for tables in the open as there was at the previous venue, where there were lots of outside stalls. Entry to the Rally is £3.00, and for tables booked by the end of April, the tables cost £8.00 including entry for two people, so that's just £2.00 for the table.

Weather forecast is good too!

Hope to see a few forum members there - saw Christopher, 'High Vacuum House' last year - rather a long way from home!
