SOCIAL EVENT
FRIDAY 9TH OCTOBER FROM 7 PM ISH AT THE MILITARY VEHICLE MUSEUM 10 STURTON RD EDINBURGH
Tony Bell VK5UA Will host as tour guide a MIXED NERC night to the military vehicle museum at Edinburgh on 9 October 7 pm to 9 pm bring your own thermos cups and a biscuit or cake.
Cost would be $10 a head (STUDENTS FREE)
This will be our first mixed social night since Covid began and there is plenty of room (can hold over 700 under current guidelines) so it’s a great opportunity to fellowship with daylight saving in operation.
Tony (the curator of military radios there) will try out a military radio on 6m so it would be great if the few who can’t come can tune in and make a contact. Liaise on Houghton 146.850.
Bring spouses, family and friend’s is fine
A short meeting prior to the tour
Hope to see lots of familiar faces and new chums
