I would like to place on record my thanks to Stella Rogers for a couple of the less well publicised things that she has done recently which help to maintain and support our society.
Firstly, I know that Stella has recently managed to have our contact details updated on the RSGB website. Now this may seem on the face of it to be a trivial thing, but trust me, it was not.
Stella has also taken it upon herself to send our monthly event schedule to the RSGB for publication in Radcom, which is all great publicity for MSARS.
Well done.
And now for a personal view of mine.
Not so 'well done' to the Radio Society of Great Britain.
Whilst I understand that the RSGB is not the most wealthy organisation in the world, and that it is partly staffed and supported by many hard-working volunteers, it is simply unacceptable for our national society, to whom we pay a not insignificant annual fee from our meagre club funds, to take nearly EIGHT MONTHS to update our contact details on their website. I should tell you that Stella's dogged persistence has saved the RSGB board of directors from a proper email-lambasting from me personally (as a fully paid up RSGB member) for the inexcusable delay in achieving this simple administrative task. I expect an awful lot more from them.
While I'm at it, I'd also like to say that our local (not regional) RSGB representative was about as much use as a chocolate fireguard in getting our details updated. Not good enough, volunteer or otherwise.
