I can't comment on CW FD for us, as unfortunately we weren't able to put 
in an entry - the bank holiday weekend meant several other events took 
priority this year.

However, for this weekend, it's looking like the number of non-operators 
will significantly exceed the number of operators! We've had two 
volunteers to come to site armed with chocolate brownies, another to 
make the tea, one foundation licensee who's also bringing his two 
daughters along for a weekend of camping, another who's not yet taken 
his foundation exam (but has done the practicals), and I'm sure there'll 
be plenty more besides that.

We won't promise any winning entries, but do aim to have some fun along 
with the BBQ:

- G3PYE/P with 2 * 17-ele + 9-ele for the 2m Trophy, co-sited with
- G6PYE/P in the open section of SSB Field Day

Look forward to catching you all on the bands this weekend!
