WARG AGM 5th may 2025

Greetings WARG members,

We hope everyone is well.

Please find attached the official advice giving notice of WARG’s upcoming AGM, to be held on Monday, May 5th 2025, at the 1st Pelican Point Sea Scouts facility in Crawley. All are welcome to attend. Doors will open at 7pm for a 7:30pm start, with tea, coffee and snacks available.

The venue is the 1st Pelican Point Sea Scout Hall… 12 Australia II Drive in Crawley. Next to UWA. All the way to the end of the Drive and hidden behind a shrubbery is the entry to the car park. Pelican Point Sea Scout Hall Click here for the Google Maps Link.

Membership renewals for the coming year are now due, and we thank all members who have paid up already, that is much appreciated. We encourage all others to renew, or to rejoin if not currently a member. Membership fees and donations are an important way we obtain funds to keep the repeaters going, helping cover the costs of site visits, repairs, equipment upgrades and ACMA license fees. (Repeaters and beacons are not covered by the new Class license, for good reason. Annual renewal fees still need to be paid).

Thank you for your membership and support this past year, we look forward to seeing everyone at the AGM, if you can make it.

Finalised meeting agendas and other relevant information will be sent closer to the time.

73, and Best Regards,

Anthony VK6AXB

Secretary, WARG
