Events

Our club meets every month, normally on the third Tuesday. Our meetings typically involve a radio based talk or presentation followed by a chance to catch up over a cuppa.

Do you have an interesting radio related topic to share?  We are always looking for interesting presentations and ideas for our club meetings.  If you have a story to tell and fancy sharing some interesting aspect of our hobby then please get in touch with our Membership Secretary by emailing membership@verulam-arc.org.uk.

    The First Voluntary Interceptors - Stan Ames

    8:00 pmAboyne Lodge School, Etna Road, St Albans, Hertfordshire AL3 5NL

    Stan Ames returns to VARC to talk about the contribution made by three early wireless experimenters (amateurs) who dramatically improved wireless interception for Naval Intelligence (Room 40) in WW1.  They set the pattern for the vital role subsequently played by 1500 radio amateurs in WW2.  One of the three was among the first group to arrive at Bletchley Park when it opened in 1939.
