Happy Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Thank you to all those who attended our meeting on Wednesday the 26th, this will be our last meeting this year.

Minutes from the AGM will be available at the next meeting.
Next year let's hope we can continue our success, raising funds, bringing fun back into the hobby, and increasing the membership.

We have agreed on a number of good ideas for activites, including fun days out and operating which we will organise for 2009. These should be enjoyable for all of us and help improve our planning, operating and technical skills and experience. 
Rex, G8UBJ, the new chairman can be contacted : g8ubj.io91ui@gmail.com
Tony G7DGW will continue to deal with club, training and exam enquiries.
The next meeting will be :  - Wednesday 14th January 2009 at 20:00
Perhaps this could be a welcome new members evening?

Theres More!

At the last meeting (12 November) we had a second vintage DVD screening, with 3 short films about electronics manufacture in the 1950's/60's. There will be another
DVD presentation evening some time next year.

Next meeting (26 November) is the Annual review and Evaluation Meeting, when a new committee can be elected and we can decide on the future direction of the
club.
News members are always welcome, and perhaps we can hold a Welcome new members meeting December 10th.

SHARES has just entered its third year.
Surplus magazines and books are available at meetings, and we hold the occasional raffle.

We have a full size G5RV antenna so operation on most HF bands is possible.

A vertical for 6/2/70cm will soon be erected (Once we agree on a date to put it up) so we will also have access to those bands.
