We will be attending the Bideford fair in Victoria park again this year. Fingers crossed the weather is as good as last year. We will hopefully be back in our usual spot, so make sure you arrive at 10am to help set up, and just as importantly, be there at 4pm to help take down! Operators also needed throughout the event.

Foundation exam passes…

We were asked to do Foundation Licence exams for 5 candidates, which we were of course more than happy to do. I’m pleased to say they all passed, some with a maximum score. Invigilators were John G3JKL and Mike G4KXQ. All are planning to continue their studies and take the Intermediate next year.

Not a normal quiz, but 2 pre arranged teams, first to the buzzer game show! Please come along to watch and hopefully it will be fun.
