OUR NEW LOCATION!

From Wednesday the 6th October the SHARES meeting venue will be at the recently constructed building to the right side of St Andrews Church in Maple Road, Surbiton KT6 4DT.

This meeting will take place in the Blue Room accessed through the front main entrance. Everything is at ground floor level.

We have been asked if it was possible to move our meeting dates to the first and third Thursday of each month, which would make the following meeting on the 21st of October. Please email if you would find this inconvenient.

Our new venue has limited off street parking, but there is a local car park at St Philips Road, a short walk from us via St Andrews Road, and this is free after 18.30pm.

Please look at the map to see the locations mentioned.


Topics for the next meetings will be decided shortly.

SHARES Field Day

We have use of a field planned for July, and propose the weekend of the 24th/25th
This will give us two days with the opportunity for those who wish to camp overnight. And for others the opportunity to visit on either or both days. For those who have been before the site is about 30 minutes drive down the A3 and there is also a rail link (Weekend timetables permitting)

We already have the G5RV in place so some of the set up work is done.
We have a Gazebo, generator and table and we should be able to operate on all of the HF bands.

For your own comfort you may wish to bring some refreshments, a seat, tent etc (if you want to camp overnight)

There is a pub down the road which serves food but it can be expensive so bringing a pack lunch then having a pint in the pub may the cheapest option

- The site can be accessed by car and is a short train journey from Surbiton Station.

For those with cars we will meet at the club at 10:45 for 11:00 departure.
If you have space in your car for equipment and or passengers please let us know also if you would like transport.

Here is a map showing directions -



When you arrive the field is accessed by a locked gate. If you arrive by car and the gate's locked park in the lane and ask Tony who can let you in. We will keep the site locked to deter unwanted guests



Those arriving by train can take the footpath running by the railway from Horsley station

Our next meeting is on Wednesday the 12th May.

The meeting will include pictures and video from the recent club trip to the Wireless
Museum.

The usual refreshments will be available.
