BVWS Golborne Radio meeting - April 10th
Hi All,
Not long now until the 'North of England' Golborne Radio meeting on the 10th of April. We have discovered that in some BVWS Bulletins the stall booking form for this event is missing. So that everyone has the chance of a stall at this event, here is the booking form for you to download and print. There is still plenty of space at this event, so get your booking in to Mark Ryding soon. The usual BVWS Capacitor table will be running and also a huge pile of BVWS store stock at reasonable prices. Plenty of Vintage TV and hot food and drinks throughout the day. An excellent event that is not to be missed! Mike...

I will be there with my "Auntie Wainwright" Collection, which might include a few thirties pieces this time. "We are the Ovaltineys happy girls and boys"

Re: BVWS Golborne Radio meeting - April 10th
I'll be there with a table full of capacitors and other components and a few other items.
No talk this time, you'll have to wait until November for that. Keith |

Re: BVWS Golborne Radio meeting - April 10th
I can come to Golborne this time - and indeed I must, as through FCS I have a TV chassis for someone who will be there!
A question - I'm not integrated into this community well enough to propose something as adventurous as my having a stall per se, but I still have some Hameg 20 meg scopes, Jupiter function generators and one or two other things left over from my Christian Aid sell up. If any stall-holder would like to try to help shift a few more items in a good cause (and if you have a charity you would prefer to donate to rather than CA, I'd consider it) then please contact me by PM. Thanks Mark |

Re: BVWS Golborne Radio meeting - April 10th
Mark, you could always sell them through the bring and buy stall (10% commission going to funds - to support the Dulwich museum).
Unfortunately, I won't be there to run the stall on this occasion, but hopefully someone will be able to do so.

Re: BVWS Golborne Radio meeting - April 10th
Hi Dave
I've had an offer of some stall space, but a 10% levy to support the museum sounds like an appropriate idea for me to build-in anyway - thanks. cheers Mark |

Re: BVWS Golborne Radio meeting - April 10th
I will be there with my mate Gavin, and we can recommend Marc's Hameg scopes as we bought three!
Also, please put one of the Jupiter Function Generators away for me Marc, I could kick myself for not getting one when we got the scopes!

Re: BVWS Golborne Radio meeting - April 10th
Not only is Golborne well worth a visit but afterwards a quick trip up the M6 to the radio rally at Blackpool is easily possible!
See you there. Peter |

Re: BVWS Golborne Radio meeting - April 10th
A great day, thanks to all those involved in its organisation. Brought far too much home! Got to Blackpool as well although rather late due to a hold up on the M6. Golborne was much better!
Whilst there also brought home a Marconi CR100 which the eBay seller had left/hidden in a wheelie bin outside his house since he was away.... Peter |

Re: BVWS Golborne Radio meeting - April 10th
I had a great time - many thanks to Mike and Margaret for their encouragement to attend, and loan of the sack barrow! Thanks also to everyone who bought something (that is, made a donation) - you raised another £305 for Christian Aid, which means this forum has been responsible for raising £1837 (not including the govt matched funding on the first £1500 or so) so far. Thanks so much for making something worthwhile happen out of a situation which started with such a sad waste.

Re: BVWS Golborne Radio meeting - April 10th
Hi. A great day out. I was not sure whether to come or not. It was a good source of spares for me, plus I met some people that I knew.
Good to see old programmes on the televisions that were familiar to me from the late 1950's & early 1960's when my father was a radio & television engineer. There were plenty of Roberts R707 transistor radios for sale, in fact I have never seen so many in one room. Thanks Mike |

Re: BVWS Golborne Radio meeting - April 10th
A superb day out! The line whistle was audible even before going inside as before with the superb display of TVs on the stage area again. I came away with lots of goodies to keep me quiet for a while.
