  • Broadcast Engineering Conservation Group (BECG) Heritage Open Days

    From Dave Hill@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 30 18:08:06 2023
    Hi,

    Our Broadcast Engineering Museum will be opening again for the annual
    Heritage Open Days scheme which this year will be on the 9th and 10th September.

    Last year was a great success for us, despite being far from ready. This
    year, things have moved on tremendously at our museum near Gainsborough.
    From feedback from visitors last year, we know how much it was enjoyed.

    There's also much to see at the largest Antiques Centre in Europe right
    next door to us.

    We're based at the former RAF Hemswell, now Hemswell Cliff, DN21 5XS.

    We're all volunteers and many come from far and wide, so let's hope that
    the weather will be as good as it was last year.

    The details are on our website here: https://becg.org.uk/event/heritage-open-days-2023/

    There will certainly be much more to see and do this year as our huge
    building is now more in a position to receive visitors, and more of the
    primary exhibits are in place. These cover TV OB trucks, VT, TK, many, many vintage TV cameras, radio broadcasting and much else.
