August Newsletter
I would like to offer a big thank you to all those who attended the last meeting.
Also thanks to Dave M0SAT for his introduction to Amateur Television and Ron G6LTT for getting the Foundation class under way with 5 students.
For those that could not make it, those attending where treated to an excellent chat on Amateur Television which will be followed up with a demo of some equipment in the future.
We also discussed the clubs future and purpose. Members and interested parties are asked to email input to info@ears-gb.com
Members have asked about a club call sign and RSGB affiliation so a couple of our members have been tasked with dealing with the matter and will report back at the next meeting.
Word is spreading about our club and we look forward to meeting and greeting more of you soon

It was good to see so many familiar faces and equally encouraging to see new faces attending.
It was outlined at the meeting that the Purpose of the club is as follows.
1) To encourage new members to participate in the hobby
2) To help people get the full potential from their Radio Station.
3) To spread interest in our hobby and help non amateurs understand why we do what we do
Thanks to Ray M0FAK who was the clubs first contact.
The first meeting saw over 20 people attend and managed to attract three Amateurs that have been inactive for many years and are returning to the hobby.
The next meeting will be held at 19:30 on May 17th 2012 and the Agenda will be
Committee ,Training and Program for the next 6 Months, Contests and Events.
