nigel, I have heard some stories about women trying to get a mans clothes off but that is a new one!!!!

[charlie]

Peter, thank you for the praise and thanks. I sometimes wonder if our club is in fact too cheap, at £1 a month!

[charlie]

Yes I believe it is the same 2 stroke engine.
Angus thanks for the reminder about James May and meccano (still have all mine in the loft for when I retire).

PLEASE READ THE ABOVE POST IT ANSWERS QUESTION ABOUT RENEWAL DATE.

[charlie]

Please see earlier topic regarding renewals where everything is explained.

[charlie]

But I didn’t say how long the pipeline is!!!!

[charlie]

Nigel, as you are aware there have been issues with the forum, hopefully all ironed out now. We did not want to start adding additional features until we had a stable platform to work on. Galleries and calendar/events page are in the pipeline. If your pm notifications are going in your spam folder then it is an issue with the settings on your e mail/spam filter, not the fault of the forum or website.
The future of The Cultivator and the club is entirely in the hands of you the club members, I have given 6 months notice that I am standing down as editor and have no intention of continuing or taking on something else in the club, so far one member has made a suggestion they might take it on, but nothing confirmed yet.

[charlie]

Thank you Martin.
Always interesting to make comment and see what the reaction is.

I have had very few members tell me they have not received their copy of the magazine. If I am not told then I cannot do anything about it, things do get lost in the post. I could write more about my thoughts on the subject of the clubs future but do not feel the open forum is the place.

[charlie]

Simple, they join the club, one of the many advantages of membership.

[charlie]

A full (well at least when people can be bothered to tell me) calendar of forthcoming events appears in The Cultivator. There is no plan to include one on the forum at present. The Cultivator, (while it still exists*), will be the primary communication route with members.
*Still no replacement editor.

Just had a look at the screw on my Barford 30 and measured thread, 12 TPI, major diameter 18.85mm minor diameter 16.66mm this is close to 3/4 BSF, but not having a tap or die that size I cannot confirm this. Air filter bowl should be obtainable from Meetens, speak to Paul as he knows all about Villiers engines. Unfortunately cannot date machine or engine from serial number, but if you have the cowling off a date may be stamped on the flywheel.

[charlie]

Dave I will add that to the list in The Cultivator

[charlie]

Will do.

BT ran most of their small pumps and generators on propane as it was safer than petrol to carry in a vehicle and propane was already on board for gas torches.
