The 2008 Crawley Roundtable will be on Sunday September 14.
As usual we will be running the UK Microwave Group annual construction contest for the G3VVB trophy. Please do bring along your constructed equipment and enter the contest. Entries do not necessarily need to have been constructed during the last year. Last years winner was Chris G0FDZ - this year it might be you that carries away the trophy!

Access to Site:
The access road into Tilgate Recreational Centre and the CARC Clubhouse
(Hut18) is via the sliproad at the new traffic lights on the southbound
carriageway of the A23 (Brighton Road), just south of Crawley heading
towards Brighton, and about 200m from the Broadfield Football Stadium
roundabout which is well signposted.
The Clubhouse is accessed via a fairly narrow track for about 200m. Watch out for anti-traveller caravan chicanes then turn right at the 3rd sleeping policeman!
