FUNNY business at the Eagle Radio Group

摘要

GB4FUN was in Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire, recently at the invitation of members of the Eagle Radio Group. Nevil Brinnen from the club shares his thoughts on how GB4FUN can encourage the next generation of radio amateurs. Always on the lookout to put a bit of variety into the Eagle Radio Group's events, we decided to contact the RSGB in the hope of getting GB4FUN for the club's open day at the Mablethorpe Show, which is held on the large playing field of Tennyson Secondary School in the heart of the town. The show always takes place on a Sunday and we thought it would be nice if we could book the van for the show, leave it set up and then do a radio demonstration for the pupils and staff the following day. We approached the school which readily agreed, as it was the last week of term before the summer holidays. Our luck held because on contacting Carlos Eavis, G0AKI, the RSGB GB4FUN Co-ordinator, we were informed that he and the vehicle were both available on those dates.
