At the beginning of this year the Club moved to a new room at the Grappenhall Community Centre. This ground floor room has undergone a full refurbishment over the last few months with particular emphasis on providing disabled access, we have received lottery funding for the latter which required some alterations to the structure to enable wheelchair turning space and also to provide a ramp for access.
Money has also been provided by Grappenhall Youth & Community Association to assist and members have also carried some of the decorating and refurbishment.

Our new meeting room was opening on Oct 9th 2007 by Dave Connor, operations manager for Warrington Disability Partnership.

Paul G1DVA has been working on providing remote access to the club rig via the internet and now has produced software and switching to enable this. In addition the status of the rig is viewable over the internet. The club activated the special call GB6WRC during October

Ofcom announced changes to the UK Amateur Radio licence on the 4th July 2006, and introduced the new licence for life.
The changes come into effect on October 1st, 2006. After renewing your licence under the new regulations it will no longer be necessary to keep a log book, unless specifically requested to do so by Ofcom. Internet gateway operation will not be allowed, and the rules on unattended operation and remote control will be relaxed.
