Can you post that info to G4RGA for his online Rally List?
It's the first place many people look for rally dates, and should drum up a few visitors.

Is the rally specifically geared to amateur radio or is there anything of interest to the general vintage fraternity?

Hi Dave, its an amateur radio rally but there are many stallholders who are reducing collections. Plus surplus components , ex military gear, aerials, radios etc. There is a truly eclectic mix. I don't have a list of traders but you could ask at the website. link enclosed

Hi Graham
I look forward to meeting you at the rally.

Added to the forum calendar. It's good when we get a couple of weeks or more notice like this and can add these events and anyone interested can make plans (so often people don't post until a day or two before).

Good news and Just over the Moor, through Edenfield, from Ramsbottom. I've been to quite a few of these in the past. I'm expecting to be back in the North by the 19th

I've booked a stall, a last minute squeeze me in stall.
I'll have old stuff and modern stuff to clear out, hopefully.
Haven't sorted out what to take yet.
Hope I can talk the Mrs into missing bingo to assist me (doubtful)

Went to the rally and had a stall, sold the valve radio equipment and a couple of cb's, my tape recorder and some other bits but couldn't sell my box of valves
Talked to lots of people, and only came home with one item extra a Daiwa ps 304 11
Had a Sinclair pocket tv (the one with the polaroid battery) and it was bought by a guy that did development on one of the ic's in it
