A blast from the past my RSGB membership certificate.

I was tidying up the shack today and came across my original RSGB membership certificate dated the 1st of July 1983 a couple of days after my 12th birthday.

At the time I was very happy to receive my RS number 84784.

If my memory is correct I had to get a recommendation from a current member to join and amateur who lived across the road from me at the time filled the form out for me.

Amazingly it only took another 33 years to obtain my foundation licence and 34 years to gain the full licence, oh well better late than never. ;-)

My RSGB membership certificate issued when I twelve.
