Peter G1FLL sadly became a silent key on the morning of Sunday 17th December 2017. Peter had been a member of the Lincoln Short Wave Club since the early nineties when we met at the City Engineers Club in Lincoln. Peter had been on the committee of the club for many years and was always there helping at Special Event Stations and Contests. Peter will be sadly missed by all at Lincoln Short Wave Club and by many others with whom he came into contact. RIP.

Fifteen of us enjoyed Cumberland, ‘Old English’ (not sure which county these were from) and Lincolnshire sausages as part of National Sausage Week. Weather was inclement (rained all morning) so we retreated to the Village Hall. Sorry about the quality of the photos. Help was at hand, Jackie preparing the rolls for the sausages. I suggested Haggis for our next event but a few noses turned up! I’ve read somewhere “Don’t fear the haggis. Just think of it as a big, round sausage. That’s what it is anyway.”
