gw4blw_2.pngIt is with great regret that I announce the passing of my dear friend, Steve GW4BLE. Steve passed away at 2:30 this morning at the Royal Gwent Hospital after loosing his battle against cancer. Steve was a keen contester with a string of achievements too many to list here. Steve was the main instigator and lead operator in getting the Three A's Contest Group, MW5A/P to put on a 6 metre contest station during Field Day to participate in the UKSMG Summer Es Contest, who won the Ellis Cup this year. Steve was always ready with help and advise for anyone who needed it giving them the benefit of his vast experience in over 40 years in the hobby.

The funeral will be on Thursday the 15th at 2pm. The service will be at the private chapel in Risca.
Address; Cromwell Rd. Risca NP117AH.
Followed by 3pm burial at a churchyard at Dan-y-graig, Graig Road, Risca, Gwent.

Our thoughts are with his wife Mandy, son Adam, daughter in law Allison, and grandson William.
