Welcome to the Bolton Wireless Club - the RSGB's Region 3 Club of the Year for 2010!

And as well as winning our Regional heat, we were prize-winners in the National competition too:

We are a forward-thinking group, with members ranging from G2 to M6 licensees and SWLs, the perfect place to nurture your enthusiasm for all aspects of this fascinating hobby.

After a fifteen-year break the Club was revived in 2007, initially to provide a focus for radio enthusiasts in and around the Bolton area, but by the end of 2009 we had over seventy members from all over the North-West, enjoying a full programme of Club events through the whole year. See the Activities pages for more details.

We're affiliated to the Northern Amateur Radio Societies' Association and run a Club stand at their Blackpool Rally.

Our Club is also affiliated to the Radio Society of Great Britain, and is a Registered Centre for the Radio Communications Examinations. We have a busy training programme to help our Members progress up the Licensing ladder, and we've already got dozens of them through their exams: see our Training page for details.
