Amateur Radio Societies affiliated to the RSGB (and we are one such) can now set up and maintain free websites under the RSGB banner. The service was made available on 25th August 2006 and of course we are already prominently displayed there. See our brief description (and its link to this site) at: www.radioclubs.net The most recent RSGB monthly newsletter for Affiliated Clubs and Societies is available from our E-Library.

The Society's E-Library has now been added to by PDF format copies of its actual published 'Programme of Events' from inception (1958) to the present day.
The full set (covering a total of 50 years) offers an insight into not only MMARS but Amateur Radio in general - we can see by reading them, for example the advent of SSB, the modern state-of-the-art circuitry, and through to digi-comms and the integration of computers into the hobby, amateur communication via the Internet (EchoLink, VOIP and IRLP) and indeed the progress from "gestetner" produced sheets through to modern desktop publishing!
Members and others alike may care to collect the total complement and use them freely, provided due acknowledgment of origin is given.
Also included in the library is the list of all MMARS SILENT KEYS since the Society was formed.
There is a FIND US PAGE on this website and a PDF replica available for downloading from our E-Library in connection with future meetings the next of which is the AGM on 17th September.
