Remember THAT News which was flagged by Peter VK6PM on the WARG Facebook Page after the March Meeting (or does it just feel that long ago, maybe April) … about a “WARGFest”… well… not so BIG as a FEST but Yes… there is going to be a Bring n Buy (or junk sale) for the June meeting…
Details coming out soon… -very- -very- soon. So, Yes… Keep your eyes peeled on all points of contact from WARG… This Blog, The WARG Email Reflector, The Technical & General Net, and of course The WARG Facebook Page.
