Any news, of club or members activity, will go here. Most things are allowed providing it's not waiting to go in Sprat. The reason being that there is no point in reading Sprat if you have read half of it here! Please send all website copy to G4WIF (and Sprat copy to G3RJV)
The WInter Sprat is shipping <more info>
(Contact G4WIF if you have compilation problems with your copy)Two reasons you might not have got your Summer (and or) Autumn Sprat?
Obviously, if you didn't renew your subscription for 2011 the last Sprat would have been the Spring issue.
Subscription underpayments.
If you are a European or DX member then you could possibly only receive three Sprats this year. There is a message indicating any underpayment on your Spring Sprat label. You will not receive the Summer Sprat if you forgot the announcements that we had to raise subscriptions and you sent the old amount. Once you have sent me (or your DX representative) the missing dues your Summer Sprat will be despatched. Please do not send me coins in non UK currencies, the bank do not like changing them. UK coins you send at your own risk. Probably the best way to proceed is to contact me regarding what is owed and then send that plus next years subs. Please do not just paypal the money without contacting me as I will need to advise you of the correct extra charge to cover paypal administration costs. (G4WIF)

Sprat 149 - 29/12/2011 - From G4WIF
The latest Issue 149 is now beginning to arrive but will probably not be complete worldwideuntil well into the new year. Please don't contact me if yours hasn't arrived until the third week of January. Please also don't assume that as your friend in the same town has their Sprat that yours must have got lost - as bulk mail can be unpredictable.
Note: If your Winter Sprat arrived with pages missing, please contact Tony G4WIF.

We do not have firm "publication dates" so please avoid writing to ask if the Winter Sprat is late. It can't really be late unless Spring arrives first.
