The LRS Spring Surplus Equipment Sale was held on Wednesday 9th April 2014 at St Fillan’s Church in Buckstone Drive by kind arrangement of LRS member Pete Bates GM4BYF. There was a good turnout of members of the LRS and other local clubs to bid for an assortment of radio and computer gear and test equipment including function generators and oscilloscopes. A raffle was held by Treasurer Peter GM4DTH for various “bottles”.
