VK2 WICEN News, 3rd August, 2008

Under the Rules of Association, formal notices may now be sent to members
via email, and this represents considerable savings to the organisation.
Could members please advise the Secretary of any change to email address,
as any "bounce" is followed up with a postal delivery. There is a contact
form upon the web page; alternatively the address
" may be used.

The major event this month is the Shahzada 400km Horse Enduro, over the
week of 25-29th August. Operators for the full week or even just one day
are required, with food, fuel, and floor-space being provided, along with
long hours, missed meals, and lots of fun. Please contact Dave Horsfall
VK2KFU if you can assist in this august event.

Another event confirmed for this year is the Barrington Tops SAREX (Search
and Rescue exercise) over the weekend of 18-19th October (unfortunately
the same weekend as JOTA).

The next major event is the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic, to be held over the
weekend of 1st-2nd November. This requires many volunteers to monitor the
location of hundreds of competitors paddling 111km down the Hawkesbury
under a moonlit night, and their safety is paramount. If you can assist
with this important event which raises money for the Arrow Foundation then
please contact either Neil Fallshaw VK2XNF or Mark Cheeseman VK2XGK.
