During 2020 we had to suspend all face to face meetings and activities and moved the club online using Video Conferencing. When activities return you will see the details on this page but until then stay safe, follow the government guidlines and enjoy your radio.
Hopefully from the 29th March onwards when the rule of 6 returns we can return to Ashurst Beacon in a small group. As its out in the open air, if government guildlines allow, we hope to have a monthly meeting radio event. Stay tuned for any upcoming dates
