Access to Fort Widley

 

Unfortunately, these old buildings do not have lifts. Although the clubrooms are on the ground floor, the Fort is built on the side of Portsdown Hill, and access to the Fort is on the first floor (above the clubrooms).

 

There is only access to the Clubrooms using stairs (22 Steps).

 

Sorry if this affects any prospective visitors.

A quick bump, as it's just over a week away from this event  :-)

 

Roger Sawyer's Soldering demonstrations are always hands-on and extremely popular:

I'm hoping to be there.  I'll be easy to spot, as having flown in from a business trip I'll be the shambling one with the red eyes!

 

Do come and say hello.

Cheers

Scalefour Society Deputy Chairman
