Brickworks was originally launched in early 2020 under the name of the ‘Beyond Exams Club Scheme’. It is a scheme run by local amateur radio clubs that have committed to helping all licensed amateur radio operators discover what the hobby has to offer.

When Covid struck, clubs were no long able to meet in person and it was harder to help radio amateurs to work through the Club Scheme activities.

Now life is opening up again, we’re delighted that Brickworks – as it will now be called – is being relaunched.

Is Brickworks for me?

Are you a new licensee or currently training for your foundation? Have you returned to amateur radio? Do you want to try something new?

If you have answered yes to any of those questions, Brickworks is for you!

• It will help you build your confidence, expand your knowledge, gain a greater understanding of how to get the best out of different modes, your equipment and time, and enjoy new experiences
• Become an Accredited Club and it will help draw new members to your club, boost retention of newly-licensed members, promote progression through the licence tiers and provide your club with free publicity through established RSGB communication channels
