It is with sadness we report the passing of a club member, Gerald Redding,
G0GGQ on the 18 of January 2021. Gerald last visitedÂ* the club in 2017 as
he was looking after his wife at the time. Later we learned that he had
moved into care facilities.

Gerald lived in Shefford and was first licensed as G6PTB then G0GGQ in
1986. He first jointed the Shefford club in 1984.Â* He worked in Security
Alarms and gave a lecture on how they worked on 15 Nov 1984. He was a
prolific constructor and won seven cups during his membership.

On March 4th Â*2021 at the start of the evening 2m FM club net, a tribute
was sent in CW to mark his club involvement.

The text read:

G0GGQ G0GGQ de G3FJE G3FJE

Amateur Radio Society.

Rest in peace Gerald. You will be with us always.
