The following text message has the details included in it...
With regard to JOTA ( Jamboree On The Air ) ......there will be a radio
station at the former Chester Oldfield scouts HQ, which is now the Cestrian
Scout Unit, the location of which is on the playing field in Thackeray Drive

and you're there.

are also very welcome to stay with us, it will start on Friday afternoon,
and continue for 50 hours ( as it's the 50th JOTA )through Saturday and
