TARG have secured a whole field giving ample space for operating yourself or learning from others. Book a pitch overnight or attend as a day visitor (but remember to bring your own equipment, chairs, food and drink).
Immediately followed, on Sunday 2nd June, by the Astronomy Field Day at Hadleigh Country Park.
The Park has kindly agreed to display this poster on their notice boards, including in the toilets which probably get the most attention! Big screen shot so you can read the words.
This is to attract the curiosity of the public who will be attending an Family Day Astronomical event taking place on the same nearby. There will be a VHF station for contacts into France), and HF antenna operating from a World War Two Ammunition bunker.
There is a small charge for Car Parking. Access is easy with tarmac and gravel footpaths.

Here’s a review from Dorothy M0MLR, a member of the audience, “A very well presented, informative and enjoyable talk for all you Computer, Raspberry Pi and Ardunio buffs”.
Andrew has added .pdf downloads from the presentation to his personal website wwww.onenewham.uk which is worth a visit in its own right. Check out the updated News Page for more information.
