We have a complete House dedicated to nothing else other than ham radio.  All the rooms are used for the purpose of promoting ham radio and associated Electronics, we have a workshop for any projects you wish to tackle too.


We warmly welcome any one from Shortwave listeners to Licensed hams and as mentioned elsewhere on this site training for those that do not have licenses is available, please call on a Monday night and have an informal chat you will be most welcome.


For and On behalf of the committee


G3LRS (The Club's Aims)

 

We are an amateur radio society and can be heard regularly on Monday evenings with the call-signs:
G2AA - G3LRS - G6XRS - G5UM

 

The Club's Aim's are:-

  • The development of Amateur radio and all associated activities.
  • Training of newcomers and those who wish to upgrade licenses.
  • Provision of the best possible equipment and facilities for the above to take place in pleasant and suitable areas.

 

Training

Training rooms for candidates that are properly designed and set out, able to fulfill this role on several days of the week and for candidates with a very broad range of physical abilities.

 

Operating rooms

Shacks with sound-deadening built in, to prevent general noise from interfering with radio operation. HF/ VHF shacks are separate.

 

Lecture room

Lecture room to cater for visiting speakers and larger club meetings.

 

Official stuff

Committee room - where the business of running the society can take place without interrupting these other operations.

 

A place for you

Refreshment and Toilet areas to cater for everyone that wishes to join in at LRS - no one should be barred from membership because of any physical disability or building access / design limitations. The social side of membership is as important as anything else. To have somewhere pleasant to stand and sit and chat is a consideration here.

 

Car park

Parking on site.

 

What do members get for their money?

We currently have close to 112 M2 / 1200 sq. ft. within a Victorian house and adjacent semi-portable lecture / meeting room. The lecture room is used for lectures (obviously), meetings, chatting and training purposes. The main house comprises a basic kitchen facility, CW training / Committee room, small training room, a first floor HF shack, a first floor workshop and adjacent VHF / UHF shack. We also possess a fine range of radio equipment, ancillary equipment, towers, aerials and, best of all, a friendly and welcoming membership. Radio Examination and Novice classes are available subject to availability of space and trainers - volunteers are always welcome!
