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.
