Golborne talk November 6th

[Keithstv]

It's nearly time for the November Golborne meet and this years talk is nearing completion. This time it's on Valves and Valve testing. I'm aiming to start around 11:30 in the side room.

No need to book, all are welcome and I look forward to seeing you there.

The notes will be posted on this and the UKVRRR forums a usual (once I've finished them!)

Hi.
I'd have liked to go but it's just a bit too far and the dark mornings and nights are getting closer.
Hope it goes well and all have a good day.

No need to book, all are welcome ...

Keith, the BVWS website says it is restricted to BVWS members only ...

[Keithstv]

But you can join on the day.

Not what you implied in your original post, though. 

I'm sure there is a legal implication here which I don't wish to pursue but which you might wish to consider for the future ...

I would like to be there, BUT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I am not a member.
I could join but  understand that annual subs run from January 1st so it would be false economy to join at any time but then.
I am never in the UK from now till April. 
I have no address in the UK or elsewhere to which a magazine could be delivered.
I don't really think the magazine content is of interest to me.
 
There seems to be little reason for me to join.

So what should people like me do?

[ppppenguin]

Go as somebody's guest. OK for a one off visit, possibly even a second time. After that you'd be encouraged to join.

[boater sam]

Thanks. Will someone guest me?

There was good turn out at Golborne for the talk with all seats taken.It was also shorter than previous years (to give you more time to spend your money with the stall holders ) and more modern technology in the form of a Powerpoint presentation for the various diagrams. As in previous years I've attached the notes, part of which are based on the Sussex valve tester manual.

While preparing the talk I noticed three minor errors in the Sussex manual, nothing which affects the construction or use. In case you wish to correct your manual here are the corrections.

Page 3 4th paragraph  "-3V to -5V" should read "-7V to -5V".

Page 4 2nd paragraph "Va/Ia" should read "Vg/Ia"

Page 57 "EABC81" should read "EABC80" 

As there is a new PCB available I'll be producing an update to the manual in the new year.

PS thanks to Mark for the PW

Keith, that's an excellent introduction to various aspects of valves and their characteristics.
