Golborne again not supported.

[boater sam]

Once again the BVWS can't be bothered to publicise the next Golborne swap meeting on 29th October 2023 on this or any other site.
If you are not in the Stenning empire you don't exist it seems.

So I will do it here and on Vrat.

Its a good day out amongst friends.

Sam.

Hi Sam
No time for the BVWS at all.
I was a subscriber at one point but didn't think it very good value, the RSGB and monthly Radcom for me is far more informative and far superior value.

Golborne was publicised on UKVRRR 

https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/show...p?t=204752

And of course its on the BVWS site and in the BVWS bulletin.

Cheers

Don't know recent Radcom but yep it was fab. Pat Hawker, G3VA, was always a bit of a hero of mine since I read "Amateur Radio Techniques" when I was about 12. Such a pity that they made world radio history remove all the archived issues going back decades. I did manage to download dozens of issues that looked particularly interesting before they did though!

I think that's a bit harsh, I've never seen Paul S do anything that's against the interests of vintage radio or TV, even though he's fairly rigid and unyielding when it comes to straying off-course.

It does take someone to start a thread on anything new, of course!

Same goes for BVWS, it's run by its members for its members - if someone feels there's something of interest to the wider community, they've got to actively get it 'out there.' II've not known theBVWS censor anything relevant.

And in this case, as Mike T observes, both UKVRR and the BVWS have publicised Golborne!

Well of course, they are both in Stenning's empire!

I was not intending this as a BVWS knocking post, merely remarking that as Golborne and Vrat are struggling for interest it would be nice if all the vintage sites helped one another more.

I do have a very interesting story around this subject which is not for publication here but if you see me at Golborne on the 29th I will relate it.

I agree with that, and in this case they are.

But, I'd point out, your OP was more than 'merely remarking it would be nice if all the vintage sites helped each other more.' It stated categorically that BVWs can't be bothered to publicise the Golborne swapmeet (which isn't true) and then made an unwarranted attack on Paul Stenning and not existing unless you're part of his empire. Which again isn't true - Golborne isn't part of his empire, but not only does his empire recognise its existence, they have actively promoted it in the true spirit of things!

There are some of us on here of course who can no longer access UKVRRR------------------------------ through no short coming of our own.

These sorts of threads are always tricky, and I have been a bit worried about how this one might go. I'm in the middle of an extremely time, so haven't been able to keep a close eye on it, but I think it has run its course now.

Of course we appreciate that some people have been banned from Paul's site, and I won't know how that feels unless it happens to me, but on here we don't encourage discussion about how other forums are run - in fact, it is explicitly stated in our rules that is an off-topic subject area. Those who know me will understand that I'm not unsympathetic, but at the same time we don't want to create bad feelings between us and other forums.

I'll close this now, but PM me with any concerns.

With thanks for the tip-off, there are a few more details about the event on UKVRRR.

Having just checked, anyone can view that thread, including non-members, so I'll provide a link rather than copy/paste:
