 Meetings

• Monthly meetings (see diary), held on the second Tuesday of each month at 7.45 pm, in the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Recreation Society club premises.
  At most meetings we have a talk on some topic of interest to radio amateurs, and have attracted some prominent radio experts to present these.
