The “Spring” Surplus Equipment Sale was held on 11th April 2018 at St Fillan’s church in Buckstone. (The reason “Spring” is in quotes is that the weather had been appalling for weeks, with little sign of the arrival of spring. At least there was no snow, unlike the previous week. Many thanks to Pete GM4BYF for arranging the church use.
There was a good turnout of members and visitors, with lots of surplus items for sale and most were snapped up.
Items were auctioned by their owners, with a 10% donation to LRS funds
“The management” ready for action.

(Fortunately, there was).
A moment of hilarity among the audience
Now for the serious stuff!

Stan GM8ZQY won a nice bottle of wine.
And Brian GM8BJF, still fluorescent, won the bottle of whisky, which amazingly had not been chosen by an earlier winner.
