Radio Society of Great Britain
National ARDF Event
Sunday 26th September

Venue:

The event will take place at Bagworth Heath Country Park. Click here for a map showing the location.

The area can be approached from M1 J22 via Thornton and Bagworth villages.

Format:
The key elements are as follows:

- there will be two competitions. In the morning there will be an 80m competition using Centenary and Tigers woods, west of the road. At 1300 there will be a 2m event using the area to the east of the road. No part of either competition will involve crossing the relatively busy road as part of the timed event.

- the 80m event will be suitable for participants who have entered the Regional 80m events. There is then the opportunity for these same individuals to try 2m ARDF after lunch and there will be a limited number of loan receivers available for this band.

. - there will be a Sport Ident unit at each transmitter to give proof of visiting each one. 'Dibbers' can be hired for £1 (£35 if you lose it or do not return the dibber).

- The fee to enter the 80m event only will be £2 and to enter both events £5
