What's new for the Tall Trees?
	Here you can find things of both trivia and importance to club members. If you are a member and have something that you'd like the rest of the club, and possibly the rest of the world, to know about then let the webmaster know so we can publish it here.
	December 2012
	We are delighted to report that Jimmy, 2E0EYP has now passed the Advanced exam for his full licence.  Congratulations to Mike Zero Hotel Golf Yankee !
	Congratulations and commiserations too, for Brian, G3UJE whose individual entry into the 2012 CQ WW 160 CW contest which occured in January has resulted in runner-up position, narrowly beaten by M5O who scored fewer QSOs, but more multipliers.  2013's event soon comes up, so we wish the best of luck to Brian in that.

	The club held its AGM this month, and is glad to report that we achieved 100% attendance- the whole group turned up!

	October 2014
	The Tall Trees won the 2014 80m Club Championships (Local Club Section) RSGB Contest for the first, but hopefully not the last time, and as a consequence were awarded the G5RV Trophy. Several members were in attendance to participate in the award presentation made to the club's chairman G3KAF. See picture below:-

	May 2016 Tall Trees welcomed keen VHF contester Ray, G4BEE into the group, and he contributed to our 6m AC results for the first time.
	October 2016 Tall Trees were runners-up in the 80m Club Championship.
	November 2016 It was with great regret that we lost Phil G8WUY from our small group. He bacame a silent key on November 4th. Phil was a popular visitor at our meetings and despite fighting an illness over many months he still managed to get on the air occasionally and contributed to our competition events. He will be sadly missed by the entire club.
