Hello All,

For my last News Brief email I will just reiterate the following information for, to help you with your voting choice on Thursday evening…

The good news is we have received sufficient nominations for positions such that we will be able to elect a committee to lead AHRS into the immediate future.

As a result, we will conclude the AGM this Thursday before the March General Meeting.

We have received nominations for all positions, with the only position having multiple nominations being that of the Vice President.

Accordingly, as is stated in our constitution, we will hold a ballot by way of a show of hands.

This will be conducted by our returning Officer, John  VK5EMI. As neither myself or Geoff VK5JB are involved in the election of officers, we will act as Tellers for the Ballot.

Following the Election of Officers, the New President will be invited to take over and conduct the rest of the meeting.

Attached is a document with the supporting statements that we have received from both the VP Nominees, to assist you in making your decision who to vote for. Thank you Gentlemen!

Following the conclusion of the AGM, as is usual for the March General Meeting, we will be holding an Internal Club Buy and Sell.  So gather all those things up that you don’t really need and get ready to generate a bit of cash for them.

See you all there!

As usual, you can find information on our AHARS Web site and www.ahars.au and also at our facebook group page www.facebook.com/groups/ahars.

Cheers & 73,

Yesterday’s Tech Session was well attended, and turned out to be a very interesting day. Thanks Jim for the presentation, and to all those who contributed with interesting things to show us. Richard especially impressed us with his DSP noise reduction equipment. The practical demonstration of their ability to bring the message up out of the noise was impressive. A number of people will be looking to purchase things, I’m sure.

This is a MUST READ for ALL MEMBERS
Further to last weeks statement about the current situation for election of a committee:
We have again called for nominations for the Executive positions of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer. While we have received some nominations, we have yet to get a solid nomination for the position of President, someone to lead the club and formulate direction.

So please, keep working on this! We have until the COB Thursday 5th March to have a nomination in the hands of the Secretary. We should hopefully then be able to elect a full committee to look after the club for the coming year. Please give this some extensive consideration on how YOU might help to keep the club functioning!

Attached is a document that show the duties the current executive committee have been performing AND Some excellent ideas from member David VK5ZL, about how things might be changed moving forward to make it easier for those who decide to take up office to keep the club running. As well, I have attached a nomination form to be filled out and emailed to the secretary@ahars.au

For next Saturday’s Tech Session, lets just make it a show and tell. Bring along something that you think other might be interested in that you have or have recently acquired.

See you there, at 10:00 on Saturday Morning at the BUC.
Cheers & 73,
