By Barry G8DXU in Club Meets, News

The Societies Annual Dinner is once again being held at Chalk Farm, Willingdon. on Monday the 5th of December from 1900.

Bookings are now closed with a very good proportion of the membership confirming their attendance.

Last years dinner at the same venue was very successful with this most enjoyable occasion being set to be repeated.

		1 Society Net on GB3ZX from 1400 & Top Band ALL WELCOME! July 1, 202012:30 Our regular lock-down net on ZX from 1400 until around 1445. Several members and friends have expressed interest in forming a Net on Top Band after the above on ZX. Please listen on this repeater for an announcement regarding frequency. This will probably be 1976kHz using USB for those that only have Upper SB and AM facilities. Some members may be mobile or portable. G8DXU will be Portable in the Rickney area and looks forward to working members and friends on this excellent band.

Principally, from today the law on meeting people outside ones own family has changed. It is now allowed to visit one other household indoors or outdoors. This includes those in ones chosen support bubble. Whilst many businesses, premises, facilities and places of worship etc. will now be allowed to open it is still important that social distancing of 2m is maintained wherever possible. And especially with those outside ones immediate family. The social distance of 2m can be reduced to 1m plus (The plus means where precautions are taken such as screens and use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) mainly in the workplace. We are now allowed to meet up to six people from different households as long as social distancing is maintained. The maximum number of people allowed to meet in one place would appear to be limited to 30. This would seem to exclude planned events such as the Festival of Transport from happening! Quite how Pubs and restaurants will operate under these conditions remains to be seen! There is now a good possibility of being able to plan some small events at BHRS etc as long as the social distancing measures are complied with. These notes are anecdotal only and should not be regarded as any form of advice or recommendations. G8DXU More	5
6 Club Meeting July 6, 202019:30 – 22:00 Map Our monthly club meeting. The safe use of Generators both fixed and mobile set-ups. James Eade G8AJP More	7	8 Net on GB3ZX for members and friends! July 8, 202012:30 Our now regular gathering on GB3ZX from 1400. Now that the lock-down has been relaxed somewhat it is anticipated that these nets will gradually diminish. However, this repeater has some good local coverage and is an excellent way for members to keep in-touch. It is especially useful when arranging nets on other bands and members are reminded that it is worthwhile to put out calls on ZX as a back-up or talk-back channel.
