Great Liverpool AGM and reunion held 29th and 30th April
Over 60 members and their partners enjoyed themselves at the ROA AGM and Liverpool reunion. Old friendships were re-newed and plenty of new ones made. Radio Amateur members matched faces to call signs, sometimes for the first time after many QSO’s on air. The hotel was excellent as was the food. Full report and pictures to follow in June QSO magazine.
Make a note for your diary of the Bristol reunion which will take place later this year on October 2nd and 3rd.
