The grapevine may already have done its job, but I can confirm that we were lucky enough to have been granted £800 towards our new Flex Transceiver by Burgess Hill Town Council this Thursday.
Wonderful news. Huge thanks and gratitude to all those parties involved at the council for reading our submission properly and doing their due diligence. They clearly 'get it' and isn't it great that a local council is willing to invest not only in our radio community, but also in the future of the local residents - young and old alike.
Education doesn't discriminate. Plenty of us came into the hobby in our later years, and it's a great way to keep the grey matter ticking over, as well as having the benefits associated with regular communication and in-person social gatherings.
We are particularly looking forward to welcoming younger scholars and talents into our ranks though. We desperately need an injection of fresh thinking and opinion.
We will continue to create and present tutorial content on our training academy facility over the winter months, and we look forward to sharing that with you all soon.
