The next General Meeting is this Friday, 18th July, at the Reedbeds Community Hall, 7:30 pm.

There are no formal planned activities for this month other than a short sharp and shiny General Meeting.  This will be a welcome change from the two hour long marathons of the past few months.

This coming weekend the AREG will be busy activating one of the the Australian IARU HQ contesting stations, under the callsign VK5WIA, in Younghusband, on the banks of the Murray River.   I’m sure there will be plenty of activity and stories of the adventure at the next meeting.

During the meeting we will also be covering general club business, further preparation for the AGM, which has been decided for August, and the general “rag chewing” over coffee, tea and cake.

If any members have winter time projects that they would like to share with the group, then we’d love you to bring them along and discuss over a coffee.

The next General Meeting is this Friday, 20 June, at the Reedbeds Community Hall, 7:30 pm.

Well what with recent events with the club heavily involved with providing the River Murray Canoe Marathon Event (RPM) with safety and tracking communications support over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend, and many members racing around the country side chasing SOTA and Parks Awards activations, it has been a very busy couple of months.

So, come along one and all, the meeting will be offering a debrief of the RPM with the opportunities for all who participated in the event to regale us with anecdotes of their experiences, hopefully feedback from the RPM management and organising team, plus the opportunities to review AREG’s performance and provision of communications support for the event.

Also the evening will be covering general club business, preparation for the AGM, which should be in either July or August, and the general “rag chewing” over coffee, tea and cake.

Don’t miss this evening, it should be a very busy and interesting evening for all.

7:30 pm, Friday 20 June, at the Reedbeds, see you all there!

The Amateur Radio Experimenters Group next general meeting is Friday the 21th of March 2014.

The meeting will start at it’s usual time of 8pm sharp. Room open at 7:45pm.  It’s been two months since we’ve had a business meeting, so unfortunately we’re expecting this months agenda to be long one.  We certainly have lots to discuss.

After which we’ll adjourn for coffee, tea and biscuits.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Happy New Year !

The Amateur Radio Experimenters Group next general meeting is Friday the 17th of January 2014.

This month will be a very rare event with two meetings needing to be held on the same night.   There will be a 20-25 minute “close door” meeting for members starting at 8pm sharp in the computer room.  All members that are attending are asked to make an effort to be down to the club rooms at 7:45pm.  Visitors are welcome to arrive at the usual start time, tea coffee and biscuits will be available for a gold coin donation out in the kitchen while the first meeting is in progress.

At 8:30pm the usual monthly meeting will be held in the main hall for all attending, after which we’ll adjourn for coffee, tea and the remaining biscuits that our guest have left for us (*grin*).

There are opportunities for Dinner at the Lockley’s beforehand, please let me know if you are going to attend by 12pm Friday, table bookings are essential.

We look forward to seeing you at the first meeting of 2014…

The Amateur Radio Experimenters Group next general meeting is Friday the 20th of December 2013.

With the silly season upon us there will be no formal meeting this month, instead the club rooms will be open for members, friends and family to attend to share coffee, cake and a good yarn.   There are opportunities for Dinner at the Lockley’s beforehand, please let us know if you intend to attend.

Members and friends are invited to bring their Christmas “radio projects” along with them to discuss with others over a coffee.

We look forward to seeing you there…

To mark the end of another year the AREG will be having a BYO Christmas BBQ for members, friends and family in Bonython park on the 22nd of December 2013.  Everyone is welcome to attend.

The BBQ will be held by the banks of the River Torrens close to the Kiosk, starting at 11am.  A marquee and table will be available to hold food/plates etc.   The day will be BYO everything ie meat, drinks, chairs and salads.  I was going to suggest that salads could be placed on a table to share.

There are electric BBQ’s in this area that can be used to cook food, and a playground for the kids.   There are also shady trees that I’m sure a HF longwire (or two) will be slung into.

The following map will get you into the right location (CLICK).  Liasion will be via VK5RSA 438.025MHz.

We hope to see you there.

73’s
