HI ?Chaps just a few more details of the Clubs early days.

?

We only met a few times at the Clifton rise school as Norman Moore got wind of society in New Cross that rented a down stairs property for meetings and were prepared to sub-let to us for our Friday evenings.

The property was at 225 New Cross road and we could use the two ground floor rooms plus the minute kitchen. From which Norman would dispense coffee or tea to the members’.

Once we had members with a licence we had to have a club station, this would require a receiver but we had no funds, this was overcome by selling scrap copper obtained by burning old transformers to remove cores and insulation. Once we had some cash we were able to purchase an ex Navy B28receiver this was a Marconi CR100 in civil life.
