September 11, 2003 LARC Meeting
We had a great turnout of over 80 members and guests for the first meeting of the 2003/4 season. Click on any of the pictures for full size, and hit your browser back button to return.
Lots of people took advantage of the opportunity to renew their membership, and have a chat with other hams.
As a few others have done in the past, Bob VE3EIM brought in a few surplus items to sell in an impromptu flea market.
Incoming President Mark Bramwell, VE3PZR had some opening comments. To save expenses and not have to raise membership fees in the face of rising cost, the executive has decided to eliminate the printed and mailed newsletter. A monthly email newsflash will be sent out instead, so make sure we have your current email when you renew. The larc website www.larc.ca will also be kept as up to date as possible and along with the newsflash and announcements on local on the air nets, will be the primary communication vehicle for disseminating information to the club members.
Mark introduced the new executive for 2003/4,

each said a few words. From left to right, Vice-President Tom Cobban VA3TAC,
