27Apr: A big thank you to Dorothy M0LMR for hosting the TARG net this evening.
We are very keen that the Controller role be available to regular TARG members and that everyone, from any club, feel free to join in.
This is an excellent opportunity for M6s in particular to join-in to get practice on-air. (Pic courtesy of EssexHam).

06Apr: This year’s non-radio related talk was by Debs M6PTD on Archery.
Ably assisted by Huw M0LHT (photo) we were shown four different types of bow. The talk was peppered with interesting facts, like carbon fibre arrows are difficult to find in long grass so have a detectable metal strip in them. Also, narrow light-weight arrows are more accurate in the wind than chunkier wooden ones. And those targets – they are so small at a distance!
Accessibility is no problem with examples of people with physical disabilities who compete to international standard. There were photos of equipment to assist archers who are blind.
The club notices were slightly longer than usual as we listed all the guest speakers and field events from now until the end of the year. Check Dairy page for details.
