Greetings WARG members,
Our first meeting for 2023 is this coming Monday, 6th February, at the 1st Pelican Point sea scouts venue, 12 Australia II Drive in Crawley, opposite UWA. We aim to get the doors open at 7 for a 7:30pm start, with the usual tea, coffee and Tim Tams etc available for a gold coin donation.
On behalf of the Committee, I would like to thank all WARG members who assisted in any way during 2022, from keeping the admin side going to attending site working bees, updating and fixing back-end systems, and everything in between. A few bits & pieces happened over the Christmas / New Year period, but my impression is that many of us took the opportunity to have a good break, after a long year – I hope this was a good time for all, and that everyone is surviving the hot weather these past couple of weeks!
Now that January is behind us, it’s time to look forward again and see what we can achieve for the year ahead. I am finalising an Agenda and will circulate in the next day or so.
FYI, other scheduled WARG meeting dates for 2023 are as follows:
Monday, March 13th (the first Monday 6th is a public holiday);
Monday, April 3rd – start of a new “WARG” financial year, membership subscriptions will be due;
Monday, May 1st – this one is WARG’s Annual General Meeting and election of a new Committee for 2023-24;
Monday, June 12th (again, the first Monday 5th is a public holiday);
Monday, July 3rd;
Monday, August 7th;
Monday, September 4th;
Monday, October 2nd;
Monday, November 6th; and
Monday, December 4th. (WARG do not schedule a January meeting, the next would be Monday 5th February 2024)
WARG meetings are held at the 1st Pelican Point Sea Scout Group, 12 Australia II Drive Crawley. (Down the end past the yacht club) Doors open at 19:00 for a 19:30 start. This is the final WARG meeting of the year, so hope you can all attend.

Greetings WARG members,
Hope everyone is well – my apologies for lack of contact the past few weeks – somewhat unusual circumstances have limited my WARG focus since our May AGM, until the last day or so (In my case, a close family bereavement requiring a lot of family time, and more recently a dose of COVID!). Others have also been busy, for these reasons, little preparation has been done for the June meeting, scheduled for this coming Monday 13th.
My COVID aftermath means I am not available for this Monday, and several other Committee members have also been occupied, or are unwell and unable to attend. After consideration, the WARG Committee proposes that we skip the upcoming June meeting, and focus on the one scheduled for July 4th.
If anyone has concerns about this, please say ASAP – the WARG Committee is able to make decisions in between meetings and can progress any urgent business if required.
(A remote meeting via Skype may be possible – but if there are pressing issues that require a wider membership discussion, these are probably better done with some notice, and with good representation from WARG Committee – neither of which are feasible to achieve by this Monday).
Minutes from the recent AGM, and the following General Meeting are attached, along with the Treasurer’s and Membership reports from the General Meeting. As usual, E&OE, please let me know ASAP if any corrections or changes.
Apologies again for the short notice, it’s not been a great few weeks for me, I appreciate everyone’s understanding. Happy to discuss as required.
Regards and 73,
Anthony VK6AXB
President, WARG

Hi all, Just a reminder that the West Australian Repeater Group AGM Annual General Meeting will take place this Monday night 2nd May at 1930 at Pelican Point Sea Scouts facility, at 12 Australia II Drive in Crawley, WA.
Pelican Point Sea Scout Hall Click here for the Google Maps Link.
The AGM is planned to be a face-to-face gathering at WARG’s regular meeting venue, the 1st Pelican Point Sea Scouts facility, at 12 Australia II Drive in Crawley, WA. For those who prefer to attend online, we will also have a Skype meeting in parallel, with screens and audio so those online can hear and participate in the face-to-face meeting.
However, if prior to the AGM our ability to meet is suddenly restricted due to a new COVID-19 outbreak or similar, this arrangement may change to a remote meeting via Skype only. Clear advice will be provided with as much notice as possible if this were to be the case.
The link to join the Skype meeting is as follows:
