80th Anniversary of D Day weekend : GB80DCS

If you are attending or are planning to visit the SES running over next weekend at Slapton Sands you need to know the following information:

Criteria for the Special Event station at Torcross are as follow:-

• Pot luck for parking until the desired spaces become available.
• Parking must be paid for in all spaces used.
• It has been explained that the event could go into the night, which will require some operating and some sleeping, but we will have to play this by ear……….
• Operating times are not restricted, so operating can carry on through out.
• There must be a printed sign (A4 size) in the window of all our vehicles explaining that they are the operating vehicles, and what we are doing. (See attached).
• Also display that permission has been gained from Emma Widecombe at SHDC (in case or parking inspectors)

To all who are taking part please realise I have twisted a few arms in order to allow us to do this so please do not abuse it

G4VTO

As you can gather, Peter (G4VTO) has gone to some considerable lengths to get us permission to be on this particular site. So make sure you abide by the rules.

If are required to move etc then we will have to comply.

Whilst we do plan to have VHF running, a test during the recce showed that access to GB3TR isn’t feasible with a hand held radio, so don’t rely on it to check in with the SES operators.

If you have any queries please email in asap.
