Welcome to the BARG newsletter page, here you will find newsletters from the past up until the current day.

Important notice for newsletter article submissions

The newsletter is only as good as the material provided by the members. So if you’re out and about, bought a new piece of kit, or brewing something on the bench, write up a few words, take a picture and send it in. Equally, if you see something weird, interesting or funny, send it through. Please don’t worry about the format or the layout. An email or text document is fine. The editor will sort it out so that it fits in with the rest of the newsletter.

If you’re not a member but have something you’d like BARG members to see, such as a nearby Hamfest or club activity, send it through.

The editor has final say on what’s published. Submissions may be edited for size or readability. Please respect the copyright owners of original material.

The Newsletter aims to be published the weekend before the general meeting, which is typically the last Friday of the month.

     It’s never too late to send something in! And you might be surprised with the feedback. 

2005 – Current

1980-2004

Notes: the newletters are stored in a different structure to that on the old RaspberryPi Web server

The collection 1980-2004 represents those newsletters that were scanned from paper to ensure retention.

The following text is from the old Website and is reproduced here for posterity.

Scans of Paper Newsletters

The driver for this scanning project is to secure the past club newsletters in order to maintain a Club History.

Thank you to to Craig vk3kg, for the enthusiasm over the Club History project and for collecting the paper copies and making them available for scanning.

Newsletters will be  processed as they become available.  If you have any paper versions, please hold onto them as we may need to “plug a few holes” as processing of our library copies continues.

The current collection of documents scanned and assembled into single issue PDF files are available here: Pre 2005 Scanned Paper Newsletters in PDF format-

The current collection of original scanned pages are available here:Pre 2005 Scanned Paper Newsletters  in JPG format 1 file per page-
