The Surplus Equipment Sale on 29th April was well attended by both club members and other amateurs from around the county.

Refreshments were served by G4STO and M5ZZZ. Photos – M0KAN

All candidates taking the exam got the required pass mark but regrettably three of them have question marks against their names; two made alterations on the Optical Mark Sheet and the other completed his in blue ink instead of black.

Pictured are Andrew Mason, Francis Stephenson, Mark Clarke, Robert Radley, John Hancox and Peter Meanwell.
