Rising to the Occasion FUNNY Tongue-in-cheek

Posted on 29/01/2014 by Writer

Tonight we found out that Kevin 2E0KVK has been on the bread line today “first time for everything Kevin”.

He thought he was going to make lots of dough in the posh part of Driffield.

Well he did make dough, Bread dough and all his loaves turned out great, rising to the occasion.

But did they live up to the scrutiny of his fellow hams at the radio club?

With it being Club night anyway, Kevin brought along his wares for his fellow hams to Sample .

Well in a interview Kevin wondered if he would ever make a Master baker, we are sure he said Master Baker? .

Anyway the scores from the panel say’s it all Kevin well done.

Pathway Works Underway

Posted on 05/01/2014 by Writer

Sunday 5th January 2014 saw the first of the jobs for the New Year get underway down at the club house. The pathway is almost fully laid thanks to the present volunteers which included Dave (G4ASA) ,John (M0JBA), John (M6HDX),Valerie (M6OGK), Kevin (2E0KVK) ,Andy (G7LRR) , Jason (M0MGF) , and Frank (2E0CIY). This new walkway to the Club will make it easy for some of our more senior members to gain access.

No project is complete without the essential photo session. You will notice there was a lot of leaning on those shovels, and shovels drawn at dawn. LOL Enjoy.
