Congratulation to Jon, Ian and Daniel on passing the intermediate exam well done guys from all at the Club.
All three had signed up to the course and have worked hard under the tuition of Bob lane M0RWL and Mike Zubrzycki – G4PYW , we all know Bob was really pleased for the guys to pass as this was Bob last year of training, Mike will now be running the courses and we hope for many more passing and enjoying this great hobby of ours.
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.
This years Christmas dinner was a big success, the venue was very good been Napoleons Casino Restaurant, we all had first class service and food everything was spot-on .
Once the 3 coarse meal and drinks were over we all hit the casino floor, most of us have never seen inside a casino but luck was on our side, nearly all of us had a win on the roulette table, At once point I thought Kevin 2E0KVK was going to run out of room for his chip, Steve 2E0OKB and his wife Jill was like two Vas Vegas professional gamblers both won, although Jill had the bigger smile, “did I see her cashing in all your chips as well Steve lol” .
Dave not given too much away could not lose even when he tried, by the way Dave what time did you get away?. We all had great time on the Casino floor and was all up at the end of it.
Too sum the night up Great food with great company, and all of us went home smiling what else can one ask.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year .
Friday night saw the start of our annual Lighthouse weekend activation for ILLW. Kevin 2E0KVK (AKA) Bear Grylls got into action and worked a large pile up on 20m from the USA and Caribbean Islands well into the wee hours of the night.
The club members, as always, will be camping over the full weekend so the radio should be manned most of the time. We expect 40m and 20m to be very busy throughout Saturday.
Please look out for us on the bands over the weekend.
Steve cheeky bones 2E0NSQ and Bob Smiler M0RWL set the dress code for the weekend as the happy glampers – joined at the hip and set to storm the airways.
Please listen out for them, for we are sure you will want to comment on this comedy duo.
