The LRS again had an information table at the Cockenzie & Port Seton Radio Club "Mini-Rally" on Friday 12th August. At the table we showed an updated version of the LRS Powerpoint promo and distributed LRS information brochures and cards. Several potential new members signed up to receive information about LRS meetings. Two LRS members were successful in the raffle. This was a great occasion to meet up with members of other clubs in the area and of course to pick up some bargains. More photographs can be seen in Society Activities on this site.
