Good morning,
Having gone right past the Black country radio rally last Sunday realising too late that one was going to take place I looked around and found a webpage with most of the amateur radio events that take place this year. See below.

Hope this helps anyone looking for a local amateur radio event.

Cheers Christopher,

Blimey, that event was less than two miles from me and I didn't know anything about it !

TTFN,
Jon

That's a really useful list. I'll make this thread sticky so we don't lose it.

Mod edit: One missed off the list in post 1.

From rsgb website:

Grantham West Community Centre, Trent Road, Grantham, Lincs NG31 7XQ
There is car parking and disabled facilities at the venue. Doors open 9am and entry is £3. There will be trade stands, special interest groups, an RSGB bookstall. Catering is available on site. Kevin Burton, G6SSN, 07793 142 483, g6ssn@btinternet.com.

Last year was their first one and was most enjoyable.
Rally is small, well run and friendly and all nice and warm indoors. It is easy access off the A1.

Unfortunately G4RGA had to close his rally website (ref. Message 1) due to failing eyesight.

There is a new site here, which does much the same job:
