The volunteer for the RSGB post of Olympics Facilitator has now been appointed

The RSGB has announced that Steve Fletcher, G4RFC, has agreed to become the RSGB’s Olympic Facilitator.

Steve will be drawing together all the information on radio amateur special events associated with the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

demonstrate amateur radio and at the same time have some fun. Steve can be reached at g4rfcinfo@yahoo.co.uk.

 

Original Announcement

The Radio Society of Great Britain is looking for a volunteer to help in facilitating the various initiatives members are taking with regard to the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Clubs and groups are planning a wide range of events in various parts of the British Isles and this is raising a number of issues which will need to be resolved and communicated.

The role is one of helping, making information available, publicising events throughout RSGB, motivating teams and individuals.

This is primarily a facilitation role and as such, keeping the Olympic part of the RSGB webpage up to date is part of the brief.

If you think you can help, contact  Bob G3PJT, g3pjtbtinternet.com. with subject ‘Olympic Facilitator’. Tel 01223 263137.

UK National Radio Centre now open

The new RSGB National Radio Centre located in the grounds of the historic Bletchley Park, home of the codebreakers, close to Milton Keynes, has opened for business.

The centre is initially operating on three days a week – Thursday, Saturday and Sunday – while the displays and exhibits are put through their
paces. The formal opening is expected to take place in late spring.

Essex radio amateurs Pete M0PSX and Sarah M6PSK were amongst the first to visit the new National Radio Centre  and they have produced an -illustrated report on what they saw. Their report can be viewed at http://www.essexham.co.uk/nrc
