Field Day (Activating G3CNO with 4m Contest)

Main Points of the Day:

FPARC Field Day

• Activating our club call-sign G3CNO.
• 4m Contest 1500 – 2100 (local time).
• Members welcome to setup and experiment with their own kit. Ex-Practical Evening builders welcome.
• Archers: see important safety information below.

Important Safety Information! ⚠️

Fort Purbrook Company of Bowmen will be taking part in their competition (1000 onwards) having their kit being checked by scrutineers between 0830-1000. Their activities will continue from 1000 until around 1530.

There will be 100 or so people attending the Archer’s event. There will be targets all around the parade ground and the eastern side of the fort.

Fort Purbrook Archery Club

The path to the toilets will be unaffected (and there is an easy on-foot entrance/exit path between the Stone Store and the toilets, and between the toilets and the Fort’s exit).

The archers will be using the tunnel entrance in the Stone Store, but this won’t affect FPARC.

For their safety, FPARC Visitors and Club Members MUST FOLLOW THESE GUIDELINES.

• You must pay attention to the archer’s guides and safety officers at all times.
• If you arrive after 0945 (or you are a visitor at any time), you must park your car outside, sign-in at the Fort’s Visitor’s Office, and make your way carefully to the Stone Store, paying attention at all times to safety notices and guides.
• If you are bringing in radio kit and only staying a short time, the plan would be drive in before 0930, leave the kit and then park outside the fort.

Once we are in, we are in! It will be very disruptive to the archers to try to leave whilst their competition is running.
