RSGB’s Commonwealth Games Special Events Station

The 2022 Commonwealth Games starts on 28 July. Over 5,000 athletes will converge on Birmingham and the surrounding area from an estimated 72 hosts to compete over 12 days as part of the Games.

The RSGB is organising a number of activities to support the event, including a special event station in the grounds of the National Exhibition Centre. The Society wants to showcase amateur radio to the athletes and public for as much of the Games as possible and will need a large number of volunteers to operate the station and chat to visitors.

Due to the location of the station, operators will only be able to access the Games by train and participants will be security checked as part of the accreditation process.

If you’d like to help operate the station during the Games, contact RSGB Region 5 Representative Neil Yorke, M0NKE: rr5@rsgb.org.uk
