Over the next couple of weeks the club will be building an off centre dipole ready for the forthcoming field weekend. Also we will start to get other things ready for the event.

In July the club will be having a bring and buy event and also start planning for the field day check the programme for dates.

On 29th June Andrew Jenner G7KNA the regional RSGB representative will be coming to the club to give us a presentation on various matters relating to the RSGB. Normally this also includes a Q&A.

Can all members make an effort to attend please.

The travels of one of the teams hunting for Paul (M0ZMB) during the pedestrian foxhunt. Even though the area is quite compact we managed 3 and a 1/2 miles!!

Wednesday 15th of June the clubs pedestrian foxhunt is back.

It takes place within the Thornbury area. For those new to the club and area the has mainly gentle gradients and everyday walking attire would be ok.

The fox will call on 145.500 at 19:30 hours local, will then move to free frequency (usually 145.400 or 145.450). Once on frequency the fox will transmit on this frequency for a couple of minutes then every 10 minutes until the end. 

Please keep an I on the programme.

The first event we have coming up is the Chairman’s quiz and social evening.

This will be followed by a two week closure due to the Chantry being closed. 

Coming up in the New Year will be Tiago doing part two of his talk on DMR radio, this one is more practical, get to see it in action.

Due to a change in working commitments Tiago is unable give his talk and demonstration of DMR. We will look to reschedule in the New Year.

Tiago was due to talk to the club about his adventures in DMR and give the first of two talks introducing DMR. The first has been postponed from the 3rd of November to a date to be decided, apologies for any inconvenience. 

Hopefully we can see everyone on the new evening.

From Wednesday 21st of July the club will be resuming in person meetings at the Chantry BS35 1HB at our usual time of 19:30.

The first one will be a general natter and catch up night. 

We are looking for weekly subs to be cashless (£3.50 per week), all members should have received an email from John the treasurer with details. Also annual membership fees if not already paid are due now.

The committees current feeling is that face coverings should be worn when moving around the building but ok to remove while stationary, with appropriate social distancing. 

The provisional return to meeting in person at the club is currently 21st of July 2021. This all will all be dependant  on covid restrictions in place at the time. Further information to follow when known. 

Until the then the club will still be holding the regular 2m net on a Friday evening. Also the daily check-in net on the local 70cm repeater GB3ZB each morning.
