The RSGB Club of the Year Competition is an RSGB Regional Team initiative designed to encourage local radio clubs to do more in their communities to promote amateur radio.
Locally based, the idea is get recognition of your club’s efforts by the amateur radio community. Independently judged, the competition concentrates on your club’s contribution to promoting amateur radio, its contribution to training and education, charitable activities and general club activities. Each region presents its own trophy and all the trophy winners from around the UK are entered into a national competition where we select a National Club of the Year and two runner ups. There are trophies for the national winners and cash prizes too, so it is well worth entering.
If you would like to enter, it is really easy to do so.
1. Visit the RSGB web pages of your local region, where you will find details of the local competition.
2. Download the application form.
3. Complete the form and return it (electronically) as described on the regional website by midnight on the 31 January 2012.
Judging will be conducted over the following month and the regional winners will be announced in early March. Trophies and certificates of merit for entrants will be presented locally by the end of the March (where possible). The RSGB Board will be presented with a list of the regional winners and will choose the National Club of the Year and the runners up in March. Following the decision, the final three clubs will be informed and invited to a presentation of the prizes by the RSGB President (venue to be decided).
This scheme is sponsored by Waters and Stanton PLC and we would like to thank Peter Waters and Jeff Stanton for their generosity as principal sponsors.
