I was looking at Ray’s devices but all I need is a inductance meter and 100h isnt any where near I found this device that measures approximately 2,000 Henry. That’ll do without spending £500 on a bench bridge. Id buy the 2nd one in as its first with .2% accuracry.

I dont want silicone capability.

The existing ones, which are in perfect condition, will be offered here first before eBay.
The DCA 55 and LCR 40 are now sold!

Great Prom last night with the BBC Concert Orchestra, playing the music of Henry Mancini, Burt Bacharach, Les Baxter, Esqivel and various other exponents of ‘Space Age Pop.’
Compere, Mel Giedroyc was a bit irritating, but the orchestra was superb and the music spoke for itself.

Highly recommended for viewing on iPlayer.

Just received this;
We are very excited to announce that the next Audiojumble on Sunday 2nd March 2025 will be held at a new venue!

The Angel Centre in Tonbridge has been our home for 27 years and has been an important part of our history but, for the reasons detailed below, we need to look to the future. We have spent the last few months investigating many alternative sites across the South East and we are very pleased to confirm that we will be moving to the K2 Crawley, in West Sussex.

What are the benefits of the new venue?
  • A much larger hall (70% larger than the total floorspace of the Angel Centre halls combined)
  • A better layout, allowing the event to be held in a huge single space, rather than being spread across multiple areas
  • Ample FREE parking spaces plus a large overflow car park (and parking marshals on hand to assist)
  • A professional on-site café serving hot and cold food (with large dedicated seating area)
  • A modern venue, with excellent facilities including significantly more toilets, improved circulation areas for socialising, plus an Olympic-sized 50m pool for anyone wishing to take a dip!
Why move away from the Angel Centre in Tonbridge?

New parking charges:
Until recently, parking at the Angel Centre was free-of-charge on Sundays. However, Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council have now introduced charges on Sundays between the hours of 8am and 8pm. The new parking fee is £6.40 for the first 4 hours, plus £3.20 for each additional hour thereafter, meaning that a typical Audiojumble attendee parking from 8:00am – 4:00 pm would have to pay £19.20 to park during the event. We felt this significant extra cost to all Audiojumble attendees travelling by car was unsustainable.

The future of the Angel Centre is in doubt:
A recent report commissioned by the council regarding the future of the Angel Centre appears to show a possibility that the entire building may be demolished to make way for residential properties on the site. With the real prospect of the Angel Centre closing in the coming years, we had no option but to look for alternative venues in order to safeguard the future of the Audiojumble.

Where is the K2?

Address: K2 Crawley, Pease Pottage Hill, Crawley, RH11 9BQ
Well served by transport links, the K2 is located off junction 11 of the M23, and close to mainline railways stations and to Gatwick airport.
Google maps link: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/51. ... 5767214186
K2 website: https://www.everyoneactive.com/centre/k2-crawley/

When can I book a stall?

We will open for stallholder bookings in mid-January 2025.

As you are on our mailing list, you will receive a booking form via e-mail at this time.
Further details about the new venue, including layouts and access routes, will be issued in due course.

We are looking forward to the next event at the K2 Crawley being the largest ever Audiojumble in its 33-year history! We hope you will be able to join us on Sunday 2nd March 2025 at the new venue to be part of this exciting new chapter.

Thank you for supporting this family-run event. As always, we are extremely grateful for your support and loyalty.

With best wishes,

Catherine, Michael & Richard

PS: Richard would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has so far donated to his half-marathon fundraising in aid of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Only one month until race day! For more details please see: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/richardhowes2024
