The Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society had its Christmas Social Evening on Tuesday the 6th of December 2016. Here’s a brief summary of the evening, and a collection of photos.

The Christmas Social was held at the Oaklands Museum, and included the following:

An introductory talk from Keith G3WRO, the RSGB’s Regional Manager for our area (Region 12). Keith outlined what the RSGB regional team does, and how the RSGB helps and supports clubs and amateurs locally.

Finally, John G8DET showed the audience a photo from his loft, which showed an interesting photo of NASA astronauts, plus an Apollo LEM and lunar buggy – the picture has an interesting story. Anyone else ever read any of the Moon Hoax books such as Dark Moon, or One Small Step?
