Members of Scarborough Royal Signals ARC gathered informally in their new shack in April to bid farewell to Lt.Col. Keith Rowe and Major Gail Rowe upon their retirement after more than 30 years service with the CCF at Scarborough College. The opportunity was also taken to welcome Lt. John Lucas, the new OC of the Army section of the CCF.

The Club has enjoyed a very happy association with Scarborough College, particularly with Keith and Gail Rowe, over the 9 years since we were forced to move from our former HQ due to the closure of Burniston Barracks. We occupied at first what had been the QM Store within the CCF premises, then the greater part of a TAVR Portakabin The Portakabin then disappeared to make way for the construction of new buildings for the College, so we are now established very comfortably in a real "shack", a much-refurbished wooden building which had previously served as storage for rowing boats, and very conveniently located near tall trees!
A number of students at the College, both girls and boys, have shown interest in amateur radio and have received tuition from members of the Club. Several have passed the Novice exam and one very keen young lady has achieved an RAE pass and the full 12wpm Morse test. The Club has also enabled Scarborough College to be represented in the Stelar Net.
For this special occasion we were very pleased to be joined by our Patron, Major (Rtd) Ray Webb, Vice-President of RSARS, to whom we have been much indebted for his enthusiastic support and guidance ever since the Club was first established.
