The visitors book is again well filled and it was good to hear from members and to speak with them. Putting faces to calls is good, isn't it? The general perception was that the bargains were down, the green stuff almost non-existent, and the number of traders selling the usual things, plugs sockets and cheap Chinese imports, were up. However the secondhand clothes and the nick-nacks did not appear - GOOD! Always looking for new ways to attract people to the Society stand we have put together some new (to us!) technology and made up a running collage of pictures to support the Society activities, as can be seen in some of the display views. Well we thought this was good, although it probably needs some refinements and especially we need to make it a continuous self-run display. The use of a laptop is an improvement on our earlier attempts with a large PC and screen, although this does produce better pictures, perhaps. Regrettably no new members or even anybody paying their annual dues in advance. One person wondered if he really was a member, and we were about to extract £8, when we found he was actually paid up already! We even tried to offer inducements in the form of some lovely sweet apples we had available. The apples went OK but that was all! Happy hunting - see you all at Harwell in 2008 Mike M1CCF/M3ACF RSARS Regional Rally Rep (South)
