Rural Past Times at Pestalozzi,

Sat 10th Aug 2019 Sun 11th Aug 2019

Held each year on the second weekend in August at the Pestalozzi village near Sedlescombe, TN33 0UF. This show has a mainly agricultural theme, including static displays of vehicles and machinery.

There are sales exhibits from many different trades, food stalls and a bar selling real ales etc.

Over the last few years there has been a good collection of military vehicles including the FV432 owned by SARS member Richard 2E0EOX.  G8DXU will be joining the display with his Land Rover Defender FFR and Clansman equipment, subject to sufficient interest from other members.

We have secured special event call GB2RP for the duration of  the show.

Also listen out for G1KAR/P during our entry to the 70MHz contest on Sunday 11th between 1500-1700 local time in the SSB section of the band.

Beachy Head Meeting?,

Possible meeting at BHRS. Please note that start times may differ.
