Convention-on-the-Road

This is a concept of a range of pre-packaged and supported presentations on vintage topics as well more up-to-date subjects, some supported by hardware demonstrations, so video based, and all made available to show at club nights or dinner occasions.

This allows us all, wherever we are in the country to enjoy a small element of the annual Convention lectures at our local club or perhaps at a local or regionally organised Centenary Dinner.

Up-to-date practical demonstrator of the “Aerial Circus” that Dud Charman, G6CJ developed in the late-1940s This was first show, in its development form, by its developer Terry Giles, G4CDY at the 2013 AGM.  The re-creation will be fully developed for inclusion in the Anniversary Day celebrations at Bletchley Park on Friday 5th July.  Terry will then develop more transportable versions for loan to clubs for their own demonstration.  We hope that this will be available later in 2013.
