Society.
Well, did you see us at the Central Coast Field Day? We were
on the top floor of the stand if you could not find us. I
believe this happened to other clubs whose displays were on a
lower floor last year. Shall suggest to the host club that a
location board be displayed outside the stand main entrance so
that all club stands can be found more easily next year. It is
a great location, spacious outlook, but I suppose it is a bit
hard to get past the refreshment floor, hi hi.
The winner of the Morse Contest held on the ANARTS Stand at
Wyong last Sunday was VK2IC (he sounds more like a computer
specialist than a practitioner of the Ancient Art of Morse
Code). He had two errors in sending and one in receiving. He
was the proud and pleased recipient of the prizes : the
President's Bottle(s).
All in all, the day appeared to be a great success -- did you
meet the IPS team ? There were four on deck during the day. I
am looking forward to seeing the attendance figures for the
day. With this new venue, the attendance seems to be spread
out more, or is it just because there are more places to look
for people and stands.
We look forward to next year and seeing you all again.

address for correspondence.
Logsheets, summary sheets and multiplier and dupesheets are
