Re: Changing the BVWS
I'd be happy with the name staying as it is!
Admittedly, it is a little ambiguous - it is a British Society for Vintage Wireless interests - as opposed to a society for British Vintage Wireless - but it is difficult to do better.
Swap Wireless with Radio? Still misleading as it caters for TV anyway - and record players and tape recorders.
Swap Wireless for Electronics? Well, that doesn't indicate that there are frequently good articles in the Bulletin about vintage electrical measuring equipment - which are non-electronic.
It needs to have 'British' in its title (so that at least people know where the AGM will be held!) and also 'Society,' so people know it is a not-for-profit, non-commercial organisation; and 'Vintage,' for obvious reasons, so in the interests of brevity and restricting to a 4-word title there's not much choice left!
