WELCOME TO THE BRAINTREE AND DISTRICT AMATEUR RADIO SOCIETY
The club is grateful for the support it has received from Martin Lynch & Sons whose website is www.HamRadio.co.uk
Next Meeting - Thursday 11th September 2025
********* STOP PRESS **********
OUR MEETING VENUE HAS NOW CHANGED TO:
STISTED VILLAGE HALL,
RECTORY ROAD,
STISTED,
CM77 8AL
MEETINGS WILL NOW TAKE PLACE ON THE 2ND AND 4TH THURSDAY
CLUB NETS WILL NOW TAKE PLACE ON THURSDAYS
We will be updating our website to reflect these changes over the next few days
Our first meeting at Stisted Village Hall will be held on Thursday 11th September and it will be an opportunity to 'Ask Your Committee', who will be happy to discuss any issues you may wish to raise. Suggestions for future meetings would be very welcome!
This will be followed by general natter evening and there will be special nibbles and treats as a 'housewarming' for our new venue.
Zoom will be available but I am afraid you will have to be there in person for the cakes!
About BADARS
Club members and visitors normally meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at 8pm in St Peter's Church Hall, Braintree. Further information about our club and on getting to our meetings is on our club information page and all are welcome to attend. More information about how we run the club, including applying for membership, can be found on our membership information page.
We also have a club net on 2m FM on V30/S15 (145.375MHz) on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays at 8pm and, if there is a 5th Tuesday in the month, via the local GB3BZ 70cm analogue repeater on RU68 (input 438.450MHz output 430.850MHz CTCSS 110.9). Again, all are welcome to join in.
We have a Facebook Page - search Badars or @CallMoXG and we will appear as a 'Local Business'.
Information on upcoming events can be found on our Programme page and on Facebook.
Please note that we make Zoom available for members to use for our 'on air' nets (including via GB3BZ) as well as at the Church Hall. Zoom will be activated 10-15 minutes before the official start of the meetings and the login details will be as advised by an email sent out to members.
What is amateur radio?
The easiest way to answer that question is to invite you to watch a video made by the Radio Society of Great Britain, which can be found here. If you want to know more, or prefer to read rather than watch, the Radio Society of Great Britain also have a 'Getting Started' section on their website which can be found here.
