New to radio – want to learn in 2011?
Maybe this is your year?
If you want to learn more about amateur radio or get on the path to becoming licensed… read on….
The first steps towards becoming a radio “ham” for many will be for them to find and join a local club. These clubs will provide information about licensing requirements, operating practices and help the aspirants to improve their technical knowledge.
The Radio Society of Great Britain, which has branches throughout the United Kingdom, provides training courses to pass the license examinations and also provides venues for examination centres.
Joining a local branch of the Radio Society and enrolling on a training course is a necessary first step, but in addition, newcomers can also consider studying independently by purchasing books and other relevant materials.
Through their local club, they may often find a mentor, or friend who can help guide them down the path to becoming licensed.

This is our second week at the Dearne Renaissance Centre in Bolton-upon-Dearne teaching the Foundation Course.
Everything is going to plan and folks have really got to know each other and settle in to listening and studying. Here’s a shot of 3 cheeky monkeys that are really picking this stuff up faster than we ever did!
The course is intended to provide an exciting introduction to the hobby while requiring an acceptable minimum level of skill and experience. At the end of it, you have the chance to take your foundation exam and become a licensed radio operator.
We have just a few places left and it’s still not too late to join in. All ages are welcome. We have adults studying it too but they are camera shy. 
Join us from 4.30pm – 5.30 pm every Thursday at the Dearne Renaissance Centre, Priory Road, Bolton-upon-Dearne, Rotherham, S63 8AE
If you’d like to attend please call 01709 894082 to join in the fun!
