Is there a thread on this site that posts (what's on) such as fairs around the country where you can buy vintage parts..tubes caps etc?

RSGB website should lead you to dates for amateur radio rallies. You can usually expect to find plenty of old parts sold on many stalls, and treated as junk as far as pricing goes.

Hi Tubeglow, please Google BVWS then Events. some venues are open to all, some are BVWS members only. Any chance of joining the BVWS? May 11th NVCF is the "Big event" held at the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre and it is open to all, with usually around 200 stalls. The BVWS stall selling new double electrolytics old fashion can type, at a reduced price to members.

Hi,

The most accurate and up to date source of Radio Rally information I have found is Southgate Amateur Radio Club's website.

Kind regards

They often get flagged up on the "Clubs Groups and Societies" page of this site.

Another place to look is: http://www.g4rga.org.uk. Jim has been posting rally info on his website for many years.
