Default 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.
Mike.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
