Buy, Sell & Swap night

TBC at Monikie (see the website for directions)

This will be the second Buy, Sell & Swap event, following the success of the first event and requests for another! A donation of £5 to club funds buys you a table to sell or swap your unwanted radio items from. So start sorting through your shack, shed, loft or other hidey holes and dig out all that kit that you haven't used for ages. This is a great opportunity to move items on and you may drop on that bargain you have been looking for.

The only rule is YOU MUST TAKE AWAY ANY UNSOLD ITEMS!
