Broadcast - 6 February 2022
There are now only three days to go until we hold our AGM. I can report that nominations for all positions closed on Friday 4th February. I can also report that a nomination for each Committee position has been received and as a result no elections will be necessary on the night. It also means that if you were reticent about attending the meeting for fear of being nominated for a position you need not have any such concern.
I can further report that no notice of any additional business items had been received by the closing date of Friday 4th February so the AGM should be relatively brief and straight forward.
Congratulations to NTARC member
NTARC member Alan VK7BO has again been selected to be a member of the Australian Team in the upcoming RSGB Commonwealth Contest. Australia has done well coming 1st for several years running. Well done Alan.

Both the AGM and February General meeting will be held in the main hall due to it being a larger and more open area, better able to accommodate the required spacing. Entrance on the night will be by the main hall door. Please remember to QR code in and sign the meeting register. Hand sanitizer will be provided and masks must be worn during the meetings.

COFFEE MORNINGS – now again being held every Friday in the NTARC Club rooms. Catch up time is from 10.00 am to noon and we look forward to seeing you all there.
These coffee events represent a good opportunity to collect your QSL cards. We currently have cards awaiting collection, so why not pop in and check the QSL box and join us for a cuppa and chat.
Just a friendly reminder, please demonstrate your appreciation of all the effort that goes into operating the club, its facilities and the other services we provide, especially in these abnormal and very trying times, enjoying the company, coffee, biscuits and cake, by leaving a gold coin or two, or even a small bank note, in the jar to assist in our on-going operations.
Again a reminder that masks be worn at these sessions but you will be able to remove your mask whilst eating and drinking but it does need to be put back on when finished. A sign has been placed on the screen door reminding all of this requirement.
FINALLY – A reminder to all members that if you have any items of news you would like added to our weekly roundup, no matter how trivial, then please email me at the following address news@ntarc.net all items to be received no later than 17:00 on the Friday prior to the Broadcast.
Your continued cooperation in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
We will bring you all such contributions next Sunday morning.
