A quick reminder that next Sunday, the 4th of February 2024, is the Canvey Rally in Essex.
This is the 37th Canvey Rally, and as always, it’ll be a great opportunity to catch up with old friends as well as newcomers to the hobby. This popular annual event is run by the team at SEARS, the South Essex Amateur Radio Society.
The rally is a great place to go to pick up a bargain, catch up with local amateurs and clubs, and, of course, enjoy a SEARS bacon buttie.
Doors open at 10:00am. Admission price is £4. Parking is free, although there are only limited spaces at the school, so you may need to use nearby off-street parking. Getting there early is always a good plan if you want a bargain (although that’s the busiest time).
Essex Ham will be there, as will many other local clubs. We gather that the ICQ Podcast team will also be there.

Looking forward to catching up with lots of you on Sunday!
I hope every one have a nice day at the really.
I wished I could get to the rally, if only somebody had a mini bus. As a physically disabled person a mini bus would be a great means of transport. Maybe other members would benefit using a mini bus and we could all chip in for fuel/hire costs. Just something to think about. 73’s
Perhaps check in with your local clubs, or locals in your area? Car sharing might be an option, but as you say, if there are enough people interested, a minibus may be an option. You’re welcome to put up a message on our Facebook page if you’re looking for a lift and your local clubs can’t help – https://www.facebook.com/essexham
