Banbury Amateur Radio Society exists to foster interest in Amateur Radio and provide opportunities for anyone interested in the hobby to develop their interest further. More information about its aims can be found by clicking the 'Constitution' Link on the left.
BARS is a small but well-established society which draws its members from Banbury and the surrounding area. The membership is currently in the thirties.
BARS actively encourages members to participate and can draw upon a wide range of experienced amateurs to assist in almost every aspect of the hobby.
The club runs classes for the Radio Amateurs Examination to help new members get licenced and on the air.
So if you live in, or near to North Oxfordshire and would like to "have a look at" amateur radio, then feel free to pop along on a Wednesday night and say hello. You can find details about forthcoming meetings by clicking the 'Events Programme' link on the left.
If you hear us on the air using the Society's callsign G0BRA (on 144.515 MHz), give us a call!
