Welcome!
The RSGB are hosting three days of open ARDF competition in the spring of 2019. There will be Sprint, Foxoring, 2m and 80m Classic ARDF Courses
Note: We call it a "Championship" but really it is just a low key, small scale radio navigation exercise. So if you have been to the Region 1 or World Championships - its not like that at all.  The events will be located in near to High Wycombe - venues less than one hour London Heathrow Airport. 
We are taking expressions of interest and even entries. Please register your interest now by emailing the organiser on...

If you wish to borrow receivers - either 2m or 80m - please let us know now - we have a limited number of each. Entry fees will be collected on the morning of the competition. The Weather Forecast
