Watson's Radio Club

26 June 1965 Radio Exhibition - Careers in Electronics

​

This was the second such exhibition held by the Radio Club, with an impresssive list of exhibiting companies. The first exhibition was held on 23rd May 1959 and is documented above. 

 

Watsonian report: The most outstanding of the Club's activities this year has undoubtedly been the Radio and Electronics Exhibition held in the School on Saturday, 26th June. The planning was begun as far back as the beginning of the session when it was decided to organise an exhibition along similar lines to that held by the Club back in 1959. The large volume of correspondence entered into with the participating firms and organisations was undertaken by Alister Mitchell, whose hard work is to be commended. Finally, after much preparation, the day arrived and to our great pleasure the exhibition proved to be a resounding success. Our intention had been that the purpose of the exhibition should be two-fold. Firstly, to enlighten the visitors about the ways and mysteries of Amateur Radio and the world of Electronics, and secondly, to swell the Club's meagre funds. We trust that the first of these was fulfilled, and certainly the financial state of the Club is now very healthy indeed.

 

Reproduced here are the pages of the very interesting booklet produced for it. It includes an excellent history of the club.
