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?
