Latest AHARS news

Good day folks, the first issue today is relocating our cabinet and its contends from the Blackwood Community Hall to the shack. This cabinet holds our video projector, our sound system, our supply of cups and our tea and coffee supplies. Only the latter will be required at our new location, the Blackwood Uniting Church. We will need someone with a trailer to shift this stuff down the road to our shack and we will need four to six strong members to do the fetch and carry part of the operation.

I cannot set a day until I have a list of volunteers but I am hoping we can do it next Saturday when we have a coffee and chat at the shack. If you can help please email me or text me today so I can then work out the logistics of the operation and notify the council of our plans.

There was an open inspection of  items for the blind auction at the shack last weekend. This auction is open to all licensed Amateurs that are members of Armature Radio clubs, not only AHARS members. The blind auction works this way: you look at the items and then fill out a form with the price you bid for the item. Bidding stared on the 11th of September at the inspection and ends on the 22nd of September. If you did not make it to the open inspection you can still bid for items in the auction. If you do not have a list of items send me an email and I will send you the list.

philstorr@adam.com.au.

Further bidding can be by email to the Deceased Estate Manager, John Elliott, VK5EMI, dellio2@bigond.net.au

NOTIFICATION OF RESULTS will be by email on Monday September 30th.

The next lunch at the Blackwood RSL will be on Friday the 24th of September. These lunches are booked for noon at the Blackwood RSL. If you wish to attend the lunch you should book with the RSL on 8278 6253 or via email at rslbwood@bigpond.com. This makes catering easier for them.

All future General Meetings will be at the Blackwood Uniting Church, the Church by the round about. The next general meeting will be on the 21st of October and the starting time will be 7.30 PM. This will be a talk about Codan radio by Det VK5DET.
