GREAT NEWS - LOTTERY FUNDING
The Horndean & District Amateur Radio club is very pleased to announce that it has been successful in its application for lottery funding. We have been awarded £2145, by the National Lottery Awards For All scheme, for our project to update and modernise our training course equipment. The club is planning to run further foundation licence courses, and the club has exam centres registered by the Radio Society of Great Britain for the purposes of holding foundation, intermediate and advanced licence examinations. For further information about the above please contact the club secretary, Stuart GØFYX, e-mail gØfyx@msn.com or by telephone on 023 9247 2846.

 Club News

Ronald G3UKU RIP
We were very sorry to receive the sad news that Ronald G3UKU, HDARC member and the club's Intermediate licence tutor, passed away suddenly on February 22nd 2013. Our condolences go to his family.

Sid G4CHO RIP
February 2012 - It is with great sorrow that we report that founder member Sid G4CHO has become a silent key. The club owes Sid a great debt in his vision of establishing a Radio Club in the local area. He saw this through to the thriving club it is today, 37 years on.

New Club Meeting Venue
The last club meeting to be held at Lovedean Village hall was held on March 22nd 2011. All meetings from April 7th 2011 will be held at our new venue at Anders Hall, off Milton Road, Waterlooville, PO7 6AW. Please pass on this information to any club members that may not be aware of the new venue.

Website Addition
Hopefully you will have noticed an extra button on the left frame. Just press the 'JOURNALS' button and this will take you to our new journals page. From here you can view or download the club journal. You will need Adobe Reader to view these files. I hope to include archived journals at a later date. Peter G8PIQ has been busy converting the journals to PDF format. When they are ready they will be added. Now you will be able to view your club journal online and will not miss any of your favorite articles, even if you have lost your hard copy.

Club Awards Reminder
A reminder about the club awards. Full rules available from Dick G0RPX or G0FYX.
