The next workshop! - Page 2 - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Sean Williams · 8th Mar 2011, 8:18 pm

Hmm, tricky!

Right lets throw the dates I am available for in the pot (of course if you all want to carry on without me......)

May 15th, June 18th July 17th onwards....

Anyone have objections to these dates?

As for location, the numbers are plain to see - the next one will be at Cottered

If anyone wants a workshop at Dulwich there would have to be limited numbers, as Ian mentions there isn't room for 20 of us to turn up at once!

I made a small error in costings on the last event - so any futute events at Cottered will cost £17.50 a head - sorry about this, but as much as I enjoy the hobby I cant fund everyone else!

Cheers
Sean

It is BVWS Wootton Bassett on 3rd July, so I'd suggest avoiding that weekend (I'll certainly be at WB).

I am probably busy the weekend 9th/10th July, but apart from that I'm currently free on the other dates suggested.

Sean Williams · 8th Mar 2011, 10:03 pm

3rd July is VHF National Field Day (an amateur radio contest) With luck I will be out on a hill top somewhere microwaving birds in mid flight.....

BGmidsUK · 8th Mar 2011, 11:12 pm

May is fine for me but the suggested June/July dates are out unfortunately.

However, I promise I won't bring that Sobell set

and may hold off fixing the Ultra until the workshop if I can make it on the agreed date. I'll bring a couple of other sets as well.

I do hope to post a picture of the Sobell working before then of course.

I would prefer May 15th, apart from the fact that I may be busy in June, I really don't know that I can wait that long for another workshop!

Seriously, May would be good because its approx 3 months after the first one.

glowinganode · 10th Mar 2011, 12:39 am

All those in favour say aye.
Rob.
ps aye.

a223bfg · 10th Mar 2011, 8:30 am

May the 15th is ok for me.

Phil

onewatt · 10th Mar 2011, 10:02 am

Fine for me too.
Is it possible to add an update to the poll with specific dates on or would it need a new poll?
Regards to all

Paul Stenning · 10th Mar 2011, 12:27 pm

15th May is good for me at the moment.

Brian R Pateman · 10th Mar 2011, 12:38 pm

I thought that NVCF was on the 15 May!

Michael Maurice · 10th Mar 2011, 1:01 pm

It is Brian, well spotted

Paul Stenning · 10th Mar 2011, 7:10 pm

Yes well spotted, that's now in my diary.

Sean Williams · 10th Mar 2011, 7:32 pm

Oops!

Ok, back to the Drawing board!

Any objections to a Bank Holiday workshop? (subject to availability?)

glowinganode · 11th Mar 2011, 12:11 am

Which day, or were you planning a 48hr all nighter?
I think Chris is right, it might be an idea to start again with the poll.
Rob.

Paul Stenning · 11th Mar 2011, 1:34 am

Yes I think a new thread with a new poll for the suggested dates (when you are available and that don't clash with any other major vintage radio events) is the best approach. Note in the poll any that are bank holidays.

Sean Williams · 11th Mar 2011, 8:26 am

Agreed - got to go to work now, but will get this sorted later.

Thus far we are looking at Cottered, same format, with a buffet, with a May/June bias in dates.

Will post the final poll this evening.

Sean

Mike Phelan · 11th Mar 2011, 10:05 am

I'm tempted but the only spare weekends I have are the last one in May and first one in June.

When you have done so please post a link to it here and then we can close this thread to keep the discussions in one place (avoids confusion).
