CHRISTMAS PARTY
On behalf of all the members who went along to the DDARS Christmas Party last night a big “thank you” to Gerald and Denise for arranging such an enjoyable evening. We had party games, a quiz, prizes and a fabulous supper provided by Jim (YDL) and Brian (GDJ) I suspect their XYL’s might have had something to do with it as well, so thank you to them too.
In all 17 members rounded off what has been a busy year for the club and as I have been completing the Club of the Year application I have been pleasantly surprised at just how many events we have actually taken part in. From Tunnel End, Honley Show, Mills on the Air, Golcar Lily Day, Jamboree on the Air to the many guest speakers who have come along to the Pie Hall to entertain us all. On top of this the contest station at Cartworth Moor is now complete with our 60ft tower and HF and VHF beams and this has been used for quite a few contests this past few months. So a big thank you to everyone who has taken part in all the events and activities this past year, next year is our 40th Anniversary so we all look forward to making 2012 extra special.
Season’s greetings

Welcome...
The Denby Dale Amateur Radio Society was founded nearly 40 years ago at the Pie Hall in Denby Dale - an address famous since 1788 for record-breaking pies. Meetings are held there in a large first-floor room or in the main hall at ground level, which has good access for the disabled.
We meet on the first and third Wednesdays in the month from 7.30pm for an 8pm start. On the Wednesdays when we don't meet, we often gather on the air at 8pm on 145.575MHz. We also use that frequency for the weekly club net on Sunday at 10.30am. We compete in contests, arrange special event stations and offer training courses for all three levels of the amateur radio licence.
