HAS A NEW MEETING PLACE
SOUTHILL YOUTH CLUB
Southill Youth and Community Centre, Radipole Lane, Southill, Weymouth, Dorset DT4 9SF
Starting in January 2010, The South Dorset Radio Society has a new meeting venue. TIt is easy to find, being adjacent to the Emmanuel Church on Radipole Lane at the junction with Southill Garden Drive and Field Barn Drive. The link above will take you to a map. Field Barn Drive is best accessed off of the Chaffeys Roundabout on the A354 Weymouth Way. See the picture of the Youth Club Building below.
The Youth Club building is the one with the orange door and is accessed by footpath from either the Shopping Centre car park or Southill Garden Drive. The Emmanuel Church can be seen on the right of the picture.
The Society meets on the second Tuesday of every month at 7.30 for 8pm (except August).
A Net is held each Monday evening in the Weymouth area from 8pm local time. The Net controller is normally Graham, 2E1GOQ.
Please note that this Net is not currently
active!
