Honour for FARS member

Each year Furness Amateur Radio Society provide valuable support for The Tour de Furness charity cycle event by travelling the different routes to see if riders have had any problems, helping in whatever they can.

To show their appreciation, the Rotary Club of Furness awarded Honorary Membership to FARS member Martyn Bell, who received his membership badge from Rotary President Brian Boyd.

The Tour de Furness is organised by the Rotary Club of Furness to raise money for St Mary’s Hospice as well as others charitable organisations. 

The idea of the event is to get cyclists of all abilities joining in to have fun and raise money for charities of their choice.

The total amount raised since the first event in 1996 has now broken through the £half-million mark. 

Thanks to everyone involved over the years in achieving such a magnificent amount.
