This year the SYRG team have been out in force at many events and clubs and will be on the road again in September.
This year sees SYRG attending for the first time at the Rotherham show in Clifton Park, Rotherham. We will be there for 2 days on the Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th September so why not pop it in your dairy now and come along to see us there.
The Rotherham Show is a fantastic show with over 20,000 visitors each year and best of all admittance is FREE.
You will find us at Stand 40, by the food area another good reason to pop along and see us. There are plenty of other things to do while your there with live music, beer tent, many trade stands plus much more a good family fun filled day out.
Please find a copy of the full program here in pfd format Rotherham Show 2010 program and map. We look forward to seeing you all there…… the following weekend sees the team running The Great Northern Hamfest on the 19th sept 2010, so we hope to see you at both this year.

RSGB News reports that the producers of a forthcoming TV series are inviting amateur radio enthusiasts and others to take part.
As published on SouthgateARC which brought a smile to our faces here at SYRG
“The show revolves around a souped-up double decker bus which is touring cities around Britain. Producers are looking for single people aged between 18 and 30 to take part and are particularly keen to hear from people with any sort of talent to show off. Described as a sort of Blind Date on a bus, you can get more information by emailing dating<at>carbonhq.com or by calling 0207 324 0744″.
Oh imagine a bus full of amateurs YIPPEE what a revelation. Not such a great idea we thinks?
Further investigation reveals no grounding to the story whatsoever and that they are no more looking for radio hams than they are single badgers.
