Well the 2017 AGM has been and gone, a well attended evening given the inclement weather.

Dave Williamson and Hadyn Glaister decided to stand down,  thanks for your time and efforts gents. The new committee are listed on the front page of this blog.

So what’s next?

A club meet is at Ballasalla on Wednesday 20th December 2017 from 7pm.

Annual membership fees are now due. Please get them to the treasurer (me) either via the postal service, personally at a club meeting or via another member.

 

Thanks Andy GD1MIP,  IOMARS Treasurer

A message from the RSGB…….

This is your opportunity to cast your vote on which of the two scoring systems outlined in the Consultation on UKAC Scoring Schemes 2017 will be used in the UKAC contests from 6m though to 23cm for 2018.

Online voting on this consultation will open on 28 July and continue until 2359 BST on 20 August.

Those eligible to vote are current RSGB members who have taken part in an RSGB VHF/UHF/SHF contest in the past five years either as single operators, or as members of a multi-operator entry, as verified against the Contest Committee database. If you have changed your callsign since entering your last VHF Contest, please include both your old and new callsigns.

There will be a further consultation to follow later covering other aspects of VHF/UHF/SHF contesting.

We look forward to hearing your views.
