Barford Radio Rally details

Barford Norfolk Radio Rally is at Barford & Wramplingham Village Hall and playing field (Post code NR9 4AB) and returns to near normal this year with hot and cold refreshments and seating available inside the hall along with toilets, as well as an RSGB stand and our own Bring and Buy tall where you can bring items for us to sell on your behalf for a commission, plus a few traders. Although these activities are inside the hall, most of the event is outside. Inside the hall doors and windows will be open with plenty of hand sanitiser points. As per the latest official guidance, masks are optional but recommended in crowded places.

There will be a NARC stand outside the hall under a gazebo with Membership and a Charity Raffle which will be drawn at midday with all proceeds to the clubs 2022 nominated charity, Cancer Research. If you are a relatively new member of NARC and have not collected your club badge yet you will be able to collect it on the club stand.

We are keeping all entry and selling plot prices the same as they have been for many years, just £2 entry per person inc free parking (under 16's free) and £8 for a large outdoor selling pitch - private and trade sellers all welcome. You do not need to book outside pitches - just turn up after 8am please so that we have time to set out the field.

Only 2 more sales tables are left available inside the hall on a first come first served prebooked basis of £10 per table.

Many thanks to those who responded to my call for more help and I am pleased that we now have enough people to staff the rally, though I would ask all NARC members who attend to help generally with tidying in the cafe area or giving a volunteer a break if they can. This is our main fund raising event so what we raise benefits the clubs activities for everyone.  David

Tonight a choice of TWO venues and activities for NARC Members!

Between 7-9pm in the 6th form common room at CNS we have a social plus informal round table with Tony G0MQG showing the basics of how to use an oscilloscope. Refreshments available.

And from 7pm at Thorpe Recreation Ground (St George Morse Park, Laundry Lane, Thorpe, NR7 0XQ) its our friendly foxhunt - a direction finding competition to locate the 'fox' somewhere in Norfolk using various RF Direction Finding gear - good practice for the Trophy hunt next month! The winner is the team who finds the fox using the shortest car mileage! If you like the sound of this but don't know what to do, come along to the ground at 7pm to see the hunters getting their gear out and testing ready for the first transmission at 7.30pm. The most appropriate map will be OS Land Ranger 134 and they will be within 20 miles of Norwich.... but which direction?!

Usual rules apply - teams must be a minimum of two with at least one charged mobile phone, and please be thinking of a team name!

This is our regular competition where we show an unusual object, tool, gadget or thing-me-bob sent in by one of the NARC members and you have to guess (or you know!) what it is or what it does...

Have a good look at the picture below sent to us by one of our members - can you work out what on earth this is or what it is for?  'It's not, surely... !'

Please email your answers with the subject 'What on earth' to David & Tammy This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by 3pm on WEDNESDAY OF OUR NEXT NARC LIVE and we will read out all of the entries and tell you what it is!

Whats your mystery object?

We ask for your photos of unusual items to feature in future weeks. To enter please send us a good quality photo of your 'What on earth is this' along with a brief description and ideally at the same time include a second photo of it in use by email to the same email address This email address is being protected from spambots.

Surely everyone has one of those 'must-have' kitchen gadgets they bought at a show or one of the strange inventions by Ronco or KTel that you just had to have at the time, but only used once! Please use your own photo if you possibly can, but if you do send us a photo by someone else please be sure to tell us who owns the © copyright.
