Post AGM Report
Many thanks to everyone for attending the AGM last Thursday. For those that were not present, there are some changes to the committee. So the new committee is:
- Paul Norris – EI3ENB, Chairperson
- Eamonn Kavanagh – EI3ENB, Vice Chairperson
- John Burke – EI2JB, Secretary
- Tommy Hallinan – EI2IT, Treasurer
- John Ronan – EI7IG, P.R.O.
Plans are being made for a Christmas dinner, please contact John, EI7IG for details. As we are planning to have a Christmas dinner, the members present deemed it un-necessary to have a meeting in December, with the next meeting being scheduled for the 3rd of January. As the evenings are getting longer, the committee would like to encourage all members to come up on S18 to discuss any experiments they are conducting.

It was great to see so many at a meeting last night. Considering the terrible weather it was very impressive. Good luck to those operating for the VHF/UHF Field Day this weekend, and we would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to submit logs of your 70cms contacts during the month of July for the Slievenamon Shield.
