A change in the RSGB rules allowed us to set up 48 hours in advance rather than the what has always been 24. This fitted in well because due to shortage of towing vehicles we were able to call on the services of Barry M0JOG who was only available on the Friday. Thanks to Tony G4KMB a suitable field for operation located at Loxton was acquisitioned from a farmer f...

That’s a posh name, for what we actually know by the more common name of Rally ! But our dear past friend Mike M0VLN preferred to call it a Fayre so I like to use that term in recognition of the foresight and vision that Mike had. We must remember that our Societies substantial income from our annual Radio and Electronics Fayre, is all thank...

I understand that Steve passed away on the 4th March in Weston General Hospital. Wed, 30 Mar 2022 11:57:38 GMT
