I totally agree Trevor – we should not allow “split-membership” conditions to appear.

?

Important news!!

?

Several members have asked if we can participate in the WAB Olympic Torch special event station on Thursday 19th July. I have checked with Leslee and the hut is free that day, so I have booked it for us. Ideally, at least 6 members would be reqd to provide full cover, but we could possibly manage with 4 at a push. However, the more the merrier! I will complete the on-line form for one-day (free) membership of WAB, so any members who would like to help on the day please let me know! It is our chance as a club to hold a special event station in our own QTH – don’t miss this opportunity folks!!

Hi All,
??????????? firstly many thanks to all who came along on Monday to help with the Ant Mods.? The session was not completed (partly due to a passing thunderstorm that stopped play for a couple of hours).? This means that we need another session to complete the work.? Watch this space.

I have read the press release about the new Foundation Equivalent Exam offered by the ATC.

This has some interesting implications on the existing structure of the Foundation Exam as i see it.

I have not compared the Sylibus and i have no knowlege of their examintion requirements, but i should be expecting the following from the RSGB;

1.? It should not be necessary to provide 3 full licensed persons as invigulators for future Foundation Exams.
2.? The same offer of 1 years free membership should be extended to all new license holders.

These are my own personal feelings but if there is enough interest among our membership, i will pass them on to the DRM as an official observation (and request) from MYARS.

I Personaly think you will have trouble getting people to want to operate the Torch Event, I have no interest in it or WAB, Round here in Gravesend the Olympics is nothing but a Nightmare, Ebbsfleet 5 mins from home is the Main Transport Hub and several parks and roads here will be shut for both Games.
