The Hastings Electronics and Radio Club was formed in 1972 to bringtogether those people with a common interest in all forms of electronics and amateur radio. The Club has been expanding in size and range of interests ever since.
Monthly lectures cover a wide spectrum of subjects.
Some of these lectures are given by Club members, but guest speakers are invited from time to time. Probably the Club's most popular event is the Surplus Equipment Auction held thrice yearly which gives members the opportunity to purchase items pertaining to the hobby at bargain prices. The amateur radio section is very active. The Club itself holds G6HH, G2LL and G1HHH and these are used in many National and International contests and exhibitions. Individual Club members are active on all bands including amateur television.
