Beaver Day 2016

The Radio Club were delighted to put on some radio related activities for the local Beavers as part of their celebration of Beaver Day.
The theme of this year’s Beaver Day was the Beavers 30th Anniversary.

We manned a base providing Morse Code practice, two-way communications using handheld radios and a wide game featuring QR Codes and smartphone QR Code readers.
Great fun was had by all, not least the Radio Club Scouts.

During the day two of our members, Kai MM1AUF and George GM8YUI, were presented with their Chief Scout’s Service Award by Peter, the District Commissioner.
