Greetings all,

I've had another 6 confirmations - including 2 from Holland - so we are now
an international event. 

We are going to try to build on the day a large coil around parts that
different coilers
are bringing. We should have at least 7 coils running but not all at the
same time.

I'm away this week in Edinburgh for the General Assembly of the Church of
Scotland - and I'll catch up on my mail on Friday.

Have fun,

Alan Sharp


The 1999 UK Teslathon is definately on  here in Corby, Northamptonshire,
on Saturday 29th May, 1999. Quite a few coilers have said that they are
coming,
and bringing coils.

Programme

9am onwards hall open for those setting up coils.
10.30am arrivals tea/coffee registration.
11am onwards demonstrations.
12.30am Lunch - I'm not putting on a lunch this year but there will be
tea and coffee, bring your own sandwiches or there is a chip shop, grocers,
and a chineese take away across the street.
1.30pm Q and A session - we'll press gang a panel over lunch!!!!
2pm More demo's including we hope the first ever run on our
Teslathon Frankenstien coil (built from other peoples bits!)
3pm or whenever, finish.

We'll also have tables for bring and buy

safety 
please don't bring any iffy equipment 
If you are bringing a coil try to bring a CO2 or dry powder extinguishers
also.
Becuse we will have quite a number of working coils each with
their own HV supply, we have to discourage people from bringing
children - there won't be safety barriers!
(14 year old coilers count as adults!)

We are limited by 13A wall plugs and poor earths - though
we got good results last year with the central heating pipes.

If you are bringing a coil let me know.
If you are interested in coming let me know.

Cost addmission L3,  tea/coffee at 25p - (after costs the money will go
to the church for the use of the hall.
