Club Annual Action
General information
The annual winter sale has now been run by the club for several years. Our 2010 auction will take place on Saturday, July 10th.
This event contains plenty of Radio & Electronic material for sale. It is open to all to buy or sell whether a club member or not. You should find everything you want to know about the auction on this page, but if you have a query, send an email as below.
In our experience the best sellers are low to medium priced useful bits of equipment, components or vintage items of collector interest. No catalogue is published but it may help, especially for higher value items, if goods you have for sale are illustrated on this site. To use this facility just email us with a brief description and preferably a photo.
For queries or to have auction items listed here, please email
Simon VK2UA.

Seller auction tickets
Each lot for auction must have two tickets attached similar to that below. After sale one ticket goes to the auction clerk and the other to the purchaser with seller contact details should a query arise. Lots not marked with a ticket are deemed to be items owned by the club. Sellers can pre-register to obtain a seller #, but those who have attended in previous years will retain the same number.
