What are we looking for in the region or national club of the year?

We are not looking for the biggest club; or the smallest club, we are looking for the club that promotes the very best that is the hobby of amateur radio. Be it training, special events, support of the local community, charitable events, public relations, contesting. What ever your club gets involved in throughout the year goes towards being voted the National or Regional Club of the Year.

What is the prize?

The National Club of the Year will receive a cheque for £1000, the National Club of the year trophy and a plaque. The runners up will receive a cheque for £500 and a plaque and the third placed club will receive a cheque for £250 and a plaque.

Regional winners will receive the individual region trophy plus a major prize. All clubs taking part will receive a certificate of entry.
