Durham & District ARS Radio Rally/Ham Fest 26/5/24

Durham & District ARS Radio Rally at the Bowburn Community Centre.
Another last minute decision but definitely worth the trip. The centre offered good flat excess and literally just off the A1 so very easy all round.
There was a good mixture of equipment on offer and most were at sensible prices.
I will definitely attend this rally next year just for the northern banter alone.
Hopefully you enjoy this Quick Look around.
Thanks for visiting the channel.

Hey, thanks for uploading this! I couldn't make it to the rally this year, so I really appreciate you giving me a glimpse of what I missed.

[@gtretroworld]

No problem at all, just glad it was of some use.👍

Very similar traders to the Galashiels rally. I recognised Mirfield. I bought some of that red and black cable from him last year.

[@gtretroworld]

They’re all quite similar Gordon but what fascinates me is meeting different folk and another is the bring and buy stalls, everyone seems to forget about these.
I actually bought some 30amp cable myself for the van.

@@gtretroworld You see all sorts of things you never knew you needed.

@@gtretroworld I think the last one I went to was spennymoor which was a long time ago

[@gtretroworld]

@@lambrettadave7 Get yourself to a few, you’ll be in your element Dave.

[@lambrettadave7]

I think that is what I am afraid of

[@lambrettadave7]

When I used to go before I used to think that I never had enough money

[@davidoldboy5425]

OMG I missed it, 'over'?

[@gtretroworld]

There’s always next year or even Bishop Auckland Rally in December.
