RSGB - Thank You.

Like many hams, this op often has a few gripes with the RSGB.  As a society, it's right the RSGB receives reasonable comment and listens to it.  In the past, that certainly wasn't always the case.

Recently, I have been trying to get a club station set up at my local primary school, which I'm glad to say has embraced the idea with enthusiasm.  Practicalities may get in the way and it may never happen, but at least we'll get a few field days at school events, if nothing else.

Slowly, the RSGB is whetting the appatite of the young.  It - and its members - all need to do much more of this.

So, in pursuit of some support and encouragement from the RSGB, I e-mailed them to ask if they would be kind enough to provide some publicity material.

Sure enough, the response was immediate and enthusiastic.  Some days later, I received a fairly large package of materials, most of which is attractive and useful.  The very uninspiring centenary poster, however, is pretty rubbish!

So, a genuine, sincere and big thanks to those at the RSGB who provided the material so readily.  Keep it up.  Publicity, especially amongst kids and now without the benefit of GB4FUN, is nothing short of essential.  I hope the RSGB remembers and acts upon that more in the future. If it does not, there will be no RSGB.
