1309 - NBARC September 2013 Meeting Reminder

I hope you all had a good summer. Yes it was a bit cool and wet at times but it kept the forest fire rating low AND my well didn't run dry. The little things in life.
 
Out September 2013 meeting will be held next Wednesday September 11, 2013 starting at 1930ET. There is a NEW location. The OPP RHQ Community Boardroom - 911A Gormanville Rd. North Bay. Continue up Gormanville Rd. past the drive we used to use and the big silver building towards the hill and turn right into the next driveway just before you start up the hill. Doors will be open about 1915ET as usual.
 
Bill VA3SPT has 12 vests on order. He is hoping to have them at the meeting. $15.00 per for members.
 
The Northern Ontario Hamfest is Saturday September 14, 2013 in Garson. The club has booked a table (thanks Gerry). We will need a couple of people to help staff it. If you wish to use the NBARC table to sell stuff 10% of your sales goes to the club. Also, please be reasonably available in case there are questions about your equipment and leave specific information and instructions. Go to  http://www.ve3nbc.ca/content/northern-ontario-hamfest-0 for more info and to review their flyer.
 
The Run Off The Grid is Saturday September 21, 2013 at Nature's Harmony in Mattawa. Start is about 0800ET. We have 4 volunteers so far. A few more are required. Please sign up on the web site. It makes planning a lot easier.
 
You might have noticed that the Echolink/IRLP link and the I-Gate are U/S. Paul is aware of it and will get it fixed up when able.
 
Dinner this month will be at Swiss Chalet at 1800ET. First one there get a table for 8. If more show up we should be able to fit them in.
 
Looking forward to seeing you there.
