Probably, but minus Velo's I'd imagine. Owston is a good opportunity to enjoy pure-audio/music/equipment tweakery. Maybe its best to keep it that way rather than adding in additional bike-fun.

nice cycling round Owsterville.

Umm-er-ummm it occurs to me, and I could be wrong, that Audio Talk is nearly ten years old and so Steve arranging Owsters is timely indeed. Celebrations are needed, banners unfurling, dancing in the street etc etc etc.
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

audio-talk nearly 10 years old! Where did that decade go? I was quite surprised when you posted the PHONO II inspired circuit yesterday (or Monday) Nick, that seems like just two or three years ago.

I'll have a look back through my photo archive for dates of meets, though I've missed a couple. I've done a very poor job of keeping the photo record sticky up to date I'm afraid :(

Streets ahead of most of us, Simon. What you're doing is voluntary, but very much appreciated.

You're too kind Chris.

Looks like the first Owston was June 2007. Flicking through old photos I found all sorts of interesting things, including Jonathan Noble's extraordinary 45 SET amp from June 2005. I really ought to post the photos up, or track back through threads and link them.

I've photos for meets in:
Jun 2005 Eggy
Nov 2006 Eggy
Jan 2007 Witham
Jun 2007 Owston
Sep 2007 Witham
Apr 2008 Owston
Nov 2008 Owston
Jun 2009 Eggy
Sep 2009 Owston
May 2010 Owston
Nov 2010 Eggy
May 2012 Owston
Jun 2013 Owston
Nov 2013 Owston
Nov 2014 Owston
Jun 2016 Owston

plus a number of smaller meets in peeps houses. Not a bad little archive.
