The meeting in June was a strange one.  There was a power blackout on 'our' side of the street.  The meeting held was conducted by the light of the 'Exit' signs.

Thursday 16th February 2006 - AGM.

The February meeting was the AGM.  There were more nominations for the Committee than needed so a ballot was conducted.  The Committee was elected as follows: President Jim VK5NB, Vice President John VK5EMI, Secretary Leith VK5QH, Treasurer Hans VK5YX, and committee members Jim VK5JST, Barry VK5ZBQ, and Christine VK5CTY.  Dale VK5DC was voted in as a co-opted member.

The Denis Greig Award was given to Jim VK5JST in recognition of the world-wide use now being made of his antenna analyser.

At the end of the AGM, a minutes silence was observed for Doug VK5DUG who became a silent key recently.
