We have now booked the new venue for our Winter Rally. It will be held on Sunday 16th January 2011, at The George Carnall Leisure Centre, just off Junction 9 of the M60, opposite the Trafford Centre. This is a much larger venue than our previous home at Lowton, and hence this will be our biggest and best rally yet. Click here for full details

The A3S beam has been removed from the tower for repair and refurbishment. A temporary HF beam has taken it's place.

Our Annual Bowls and BBQ event took place last month, and a fun time was enjoyed by all. Thanks to Alan for organising the BBQ and cooking. The rain held off until he end of the tounament, and even then it was only light drizzle. It was nice to welcome life member Kevin and his XYL Gwyneyth, from over the border in Yorkshire. Not that it matters, because none of us are bowlers, but, for the record, the winners were Stan and Carmel, who were awarded the "Cracked bowl" trophy. Recipients of the runners up shield were Arthur and Bev. Photographs of the day are in the gallery.

Members are asked for suggestions/recommendations for a tri-band beam aerial for 2/6/70cm, to go atop the HF beam.
