wythall radio club

Wythall Radio Club’s annual radio and electronics fair (known to Hams in the UK as  a “rally”) takes place this coming Sunday 10th March.

Members are pulling out all the stops to make sure that, whether you are a trader or a visitor, you enjoy your visit to us. This Tuesday, our weekly club meeting will be taken up with our final preparations for the big day. Visitors are, of course, welcome on Tuesday, though be warned, you may end up with a job to do on the day! :-)

The Wythall Rally itself takes place at Woodrush School, Shawhurst Lane, Wythall, (B47 5JW for those who have SatNavs!) and doors open at 10.00am.

It is worth noting that we may have less room for on-site parking this year, depending on the waterlogged state of the school playing fields where we normally are allowed to park. We will try to update you via the website nearer the time so that you know in advance if you need to park a little further away than normal in order to get to us. Talk-in will also advise you on 145.550MHz FM on the day.

Whatever the case, we look forward to welcoming you to one of Ham Radio’s best days out in the Midlands!

Further to yesterday’s post, we can now announce that all trader spaces  for the 2013 Wythall Radio Club Rally have now being booked. We thank our valued traders for their support for our event.

Perhaps this is a reminder that the popularity of Wythall Radio Club Rally, being ever growing, means that early booking for 2014 will almost certainly be essential!

Among our visitors this year are our friends from Radioworld, W H Westlake, JAB Electronics, Sandpiper, Bowood Electronics, FISTS CW Club, Czech Army Morse Keys, Surpelectronics, WonderWand Antennas UK, Peter Hall Embroidery (for those fancy embroidered callsign shirts!) and many more.

The 2013 Wythall Radio Club Rally is just a fortnight away!

This is a day long event (this year on Sunday 10th March), where radio related traders from all over the UK descend on Woodrush School, Shawhurst Lane, Wythall, (B47 5JW for those who have SatNavs!) and ply their wares to radio, computer and electronics hobbyists of all kinds. It’s a fun day and you are sure to come away with a bargain or two!

Doors will open at 10.00 am and it is worth getting there early to snap up the bargains which will doubtless be on offer! And the real bonus is the £2.50 entrance fee – Wythall is still one of the least expensive events in the UK and has a reputation for being one of the friendliest.

Wythall Club Members are keying themselves up for a busy weekend on 9th/10th March as to put this event on involves a huge effort from everyone connected with the club.

Plans are being finalised to make sure the day goes as smoothly as possible. More updates will appear on this website so watch this space!

All the members of Wythall Radio Club would like to say a huge “thank you” to the many traders and visitors who attended our annual Rally today. We hope you enjoyed your day as much as we did.

After months of preparation and hard work, the 27th Wythall Radio Club Rally has arrived!

Members and traders will be busy from 0700 in the morning at Woodrush School getting tables and stands ready for all our visitors. Some of our traders have to come from very far afield and will be getting up at around 3 in the morning to get to our corner of the West Midlands – that’s dedication!

The rally opens to the public at 1000 tomorrow morning and all members of Wythall Radio Club hope you all enjoy the experience. Admission is just £2.50 and all monies received go directly to offset the cost of putting on the rally and the profits go towards keeping our club solvent financially.

So see you tomorrow morning at Woodrush School, Shawhurst Lane, Wythall. B47 5JW. There are signs to help you find us and radio talk-in is on 145.550 MHz if you don’t have a Sat Nav.

We hope you have a great, fun-filled day.

It’s all hands to the pump now as we are just days away from this year’s Wythall Radio Club Rally!

For anyone who doesn’t know, this is a day long event on Sunday 11th March, where radio related traders from all over the UK descend on Woodrush School in Shawhurst Lane, Wythall, (B47 5JW for those who have SatNavs!) and ply their wares to radio, computer and electronics hobbyists of all kinds. It’s a fun day and you are sure to come away with a bargain or two!

Doors open at 10.00 am and it is worth getting there early to snap up the bargains which will doubtless be on offer! At £2.50 entrance fee, Wythall is still one of the least expensive events in the UK and has a reputation for being one of the friendliest.

Members are keying themselves up for a busy weekend on 10th/11th March as to put this on involves a huge effort from everyone connected with the club. The rally keeps the club solvent financially too for the rest of the year, so all members are very much encouraged to get their hands dirty!

Our last planning meeting for the rally is at the club this coming Tuesday evening, 6th March, and we encourage all members to attend if at all possible.

See you there! :-)
