Due to the Callington Honey Fair on Wednesday October 2nd, our next meeting will be held in Callington Town Hall on Wednesday 6th of November. Our weekly get togethers at The Engine House, Florence Hill, Kelly Bray on Wednesdays at circa 2pm are not affected, so hope to see you there.

In a change from recent years, there will now be a meeting in August at the usual venue, Callington Town Hall, 7pm for 7.30 on the 7th of August. Following the usual natter we hope to have a short radio related film (details TBC). Also, remember, subs are due!

VHF NFD takes place over 24 hours Saturday 6th to Sunday 7th July. We'd like to put a station on the air - even if not strictly competitive, and probably not operating overnight (but feel free if you're so inclined!) - from near the Engine House, Florence Road, Kelly Bray. If you're interested in helping to run the station please let Roger 2E0RPH ( 2e0rph@gmail.com ) know of your intentions.

The next CARS Monthly Meeting will be at Callington Town Hall Council Chamber on Wednesday the 3rd July, 7pm for 7:30 start as usual, and will feature a half-hour film called "The Silent Listeners" detailing the activities of radio amateurs who were engaged to "listen in" on WWII German radio traffic. A thoughly informative film, very well presented, and worth seeing. For those of our Members who were not present at the AGM, or havent yet renewed their subscriptions, a gentle reminder that subs are now due: come and make Alastair a happy Treasurer... If you're unable to get to meetings - either at the Engine House. Florence Road, Kelly Bray, most Wednesday afternoons between 2 and 4, or the CARS Monthly Meetings - but wish to remain a CARS Member, do let us know: that way you won't fall off the mailing list!
