Christmas Dinner was a big success.

Posted on 19/12/2013 by Writer

This years Christmas dinner was a big success, the venue was very good been Napoleons Casino Restaurant, we all had first class service and food everything was spot-on .

Once the 3 coarse meal and drinks were over we all hit the casino floor, most of us have never seen inside a casino but luck was on our side, nearly all of us had a win on the roulette table, At once point I thought Kevin 2E0KVK was going to run out of room for his chip, Steve 2E0OKB and his wife Jill was like two Vas Vegas professional gamblers both won, although Jill had the bigger smile, “did I see her cashing in all your chips as well Steve lol” .

Dave not given too much away could not lose even when he tried, by the way Dave what time did you get away?. We all had great time on the Casino floor and was all up at the end of it.

Too sum the night up Great food with great company, and all of us went home smiling what else can one ask.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year .

Winter Works Start

Posted on 30/11/2013 by Writer

Now that winter is upon us and the Fort is closed to the public, it was time for the project planned during the summer to commence.

The task was to construct a shorter and easier access route to the club facilities. The action involved making a clearing and then the laying of paving stones. All this was to be constructed in 3 stages.

Saturday 30th November saw the start of the work by several club members.

Those present were Andy (G7LRR), Steve (2E0NSQ), Dave (G4ASA), John (M0JBA), Pat (2E0KCW), Jon (M6HDX), John (G6LNV) and Frank (2E0CIY).

Stage 1: An opening in a steel fence needed to me made. This task was made easy with the aid of Franks big angle grinder with a cutting disk (or two).

Stage 2: Using the ample manpower available, a pathway was dug, and all the earth and rubbish disposed of.

With the timely arrival of Pat with the victuals for the workers, Steve aka Mother Hen, set about cooking the bacon banjos for the lads, and offered copious cups of tea to wash it all down with. Then it was back to….

Stage 3: Now it was time for the youngsters of the club to show their metal; Pat and Jon got stuck in and dug the post holes required. The spoil from this was dealt with by Dave and the two Johns, with it all joining the previous dumping.

Stage 4: (Yes I know… only supposed to be 3!) Andy flashed up his welder and produced a work of art not, welding the gate and posts as required. With the posts set in place, the gate was hung to complete the job. In all, it was a good day’s work.

Well done guys
