March Meeting

"Skills & Science Night"
By CARS Members

CARS is pleased to announce a very special Skills Night on March 3rd. In association with the RSGB, the club is proud to be selected to take part in British Science Week (BSW), a ten day celebration of science, technology, engineering and maths that takes place in March-2026.

We have been provided with five Morse Code Tutor kits by the RSGB, supplied by Kanga Products specifically for our Skills Night. The kits are a 'one-off special edition' version of the Kanga Morse Code Tutor, which for BSW is supplied with a red pcb complete with the RSGB logo.

To take part in the Skills Night and build your own Morse Code Tutor kit, you should book one of the five places in advance by contacting John O'Connell M0JOC on a first come first served basis at training2026@g0mwt.org.uk

The evening will also feature

All welcome - free raffle and refreshments. Donations to charity
