Report from Sandringham Charity Horse Ride 3rd Oct 2021

Thank you to all the team that were able to help provide safety communications cover at this multi-distance event.  There were 220 riders taking part and only a limited number of issues to deal with.  This was mostly related to a change in course layout made following heavy rain. However by 10:00 we were all where we needed to be to monitor the activity.

We ran an amateur net on 144.650MHz and a PMR net for several non Raynet volunteers.

Kevin G7WGL – Silent key

It is with with great sadness that we have to report that Kevin Firth G7WGL (Big Kev/Wiggle) went silent key on Monday 2nd August 2021.

He was a big character with a heart of gold and will be very much missed at all the events he supported. Over the years he always went the extra mile to help people. Kindness costs nothing and he gave it all the time.
