Historical insight

Tony Cadney All Messages By This Member #31 开云体育 Whatho Gang, ? Just to say how much I appreciate the historical insight given by John (G3FNZ) into the background, activities and personalities involved in the ‘early days’ of the Clifton.? ? Keep it coming John it is all fascinating stuff. ? More so as I am one of those who joined fairly late in day (circa 1981), when club ?meetings were held in the upstairs room of the New Cross Inn, at the junction of Clifton Rise and New Cross Road. ? 73 es stay safe ? Tony es Suzanne.
Bob Hammond G4DBW All Messages By This Member #32 To add to Tony’s comments, also finding John’s reminiscing of the early Clifton years fascinating. ? I was born in Hither Green and spent many an afternoon in Mountsfield Park...... the site of the early CARS field days. Clifton must have been on friendly terms with the park keepers , who were always chasing us hooligans out of the park for riding our bikes hi hi .? The sorry tale of the generator supply in those early years seems to have dogged CARS field day efforts throughout the years .... until the purchase of a club Honda generator rated at 600 watts . This served us well when field day was restricted to 10 watts dc input power.? If my memory is correct , didn’t ?Norman Moore ( or his father?) work at the New Cross tram/ bus garage opposite 225 New X Road? And maybe had a hand in securing the rental of the building ?? 73 Bob G4DBW?
