It was felt that the online format enabled members to better demonstrate their entries than at a normal club meeting.
The club is now a fully accredited member of the RSGB Beyond Exams Scheme. Congratulations to our fist winners Christine M7WJC Bronze Award, Clive 2E0DSD Silver Award, Mike M7MGB Silver Award and Peter M0URL Gold Award. Details
