Buxtone easter meet was great
Hi to all.
Just got back from a very good meeting with CT and FB members at the Buxton Easter meet.
Friday weather was warm and sunny for a comfortable station set up. 7 of us were there for most of the evening with beer and banter flowing well. A bit cold in the Tent over night with a good Frost in the early hours. Sat morning was bitter with a N/Easterly wind blowing, I lasted about 20 mins before having to go inside for a warm up. The 11 mtr band started to pick up around dinner, chatted to a few UK stations and then got some good contacts from 172,173,44,50,93 and plenty of 03 stations.
A great bunch of guys and gals turned up to make it a fantastic day with lots of interest on all the working stations there.
The Raffle went well and a fair bit of money raised with Auction items also.
The BBQ followed with plenty of food on the go. This rally was a good one to remember glad I was there.
If there is another meet organised anywhere, count me in for it.
