Wednesday night was one of the popular BBQ evenings hosted at the LSWC shack. A big thanks goes out to Pam, G4STO, for organising the event and getting all the food stocks in. And also to Steve M5ZZZ for manning the chef duties on the grill. Running from 7.30pm many members turned out to enjoy the food and drinks on offer. Even members from the local RAF Waddington Club attended as is the norm with us being us invited to each others social events.

Once again I got to the shack when the work was done, well the shed roof sealing was finished. Daron 2E0GFY can’t make it to the club next Saturday when some LSWC members are having a morning on the lawn setting up and working with their portable equipment so he brought his set-up to the club this morning. David M7OYN worked his first HF station using Daron’s equipment.

Rain forecast so painting was put on hold; a well deserved rest for the team; I just hope they don’t get used to it. Next week we will be having a celebratory BBQ for our 100th Anniversary.

When Stephen M5SJM arrived he levelled the gravel, they certainly earned their cuppa this morning. I got stuck in finishing off cleaning the BBQ ready for the 28th and then cleaning the chairs; they had been weathered for over two years!!!

I let them in and then started work cleaning the BBQ. About a hour later the missing members returned; they had been sorting our storage container ready for moving it. As usual Andy M0IYE got stuck in giving the south wall of the shack another coat of paint, I’m not sure what the others were doing, I was still cleaning the BBQ.
Continue reading →At long last we were able to hold our Annual General Meeting. Before the meeting Andy M0IEY made sure the shack and shed painting was finished, just the fence to finish off now.

Members of the committee are: Chairman – Steve M5ZZZ Secretary – Pam G4STO Treasurer = Stephen M5SJM Activity Office – To be co-opted from the list of ordinary committee members below: Ordinary Committee Members: Andy … Continue reading →
