This edition brings with it the opportunity to review the work of your Society provided by the small HQ staff and thousand or so volunteers who work throughout the year to support amateur radio in the UK, and to deliver benefits to you, our Members.
So please take a few moments to read the various committee reports, update yourself on our finances and consider coming to Glasgow for our AGM and the informal session that follows in the afternoon.
