Mendips Radio Rally 12th June
I was thinking of possibly going to this rally at Farrington Gurney south of Bristol as I could combine it with visiting a friend. I was wondering what other interest there is in this, I think it is a new event, don't think it has been held before.

Re: Mendips Radio Rally 12th June
I don’t know if it’s new but it’s not one I’ve come across before and I wasn’t aware of it before I saw your post.
I’d go but unfortunately I’m getting my 5th (!) Covid vaccination that day so I won’t be able to. Hugh |

I was thinking along the lines it must be new as well. I think I will give it a chance .Andy

Re: Mendips Radio Rally 12th June
There's not been a radio rally in Farrington Gurney before as far as I know.
Since Longleat packed up there has only been the West Rally in Frome in this area and that's cancelled this year I understand. So as I complain that all the other rallies are too far away I will be going. If it wasn't for the houses in between I would be able to see the village hall so there's no excuse really! Not sure what there will be in the way of vintage equipment though. Don m5aky Last edited by vosperd; 9th Jun 2022 at 2:27 pm. |

I attended and had a very pleasant interesting few hours. Very enjoyable.
I hope this becomes a regular event even if the West Radio rally at Frome starts next year.

Re: Mendips Radio Rally 12th June
I also attended. I didn’t know what to expect. Although a little on the small scale it had a nice atmosphere and well worth the journey. I bought quite a few odds and ends including a box of polos. The RS dropper type. I hope it runs again next year . Andy

I did attend and met up with my friend there, I bought a few small items, my friend spent quite a lot on precision test gear, pleasant small scale event with a nice atmosphere, hope it continues next year, Mike.
