The third management meeting was held on the 29th May at the Faun Cafe and was attended by the complete committee, after completing the standard agenda,(Present, Apologies for absence, Minutes, and matters arising) the committee went into a long and detailed discussion concerning the up and coming East Midlands Ham and Electronics Rally

The Key point were:

  • The club accounts, Although the Rally made a small profit the overall account will have dipped due to the purchase of a tent and improved hold down accessorises. (WM Note was very usfull for VE day and as extra cover for the rallies).
  • Feed back from the last rally regarding disabled access and parking.
  • Power wiring into the tent was discussed and a better route to be investigated.
  • Parking of Caravans and RV, discussed with a solution agreed on.
  • Bar pricing agreed on after some detailed discussion.
  • Catering portions size and quality arrangements discussed.
  • Improved external signs and produce more on-site signage regarding disable parking and general car parking.
  • Date for the next rally set 20th September 2025.

Other business

  • The meeting agreed that the group should run a regular radio net on 144.600 at 19:30 on Mondays.
  • Operation of a Special Event Station during June was agreed in principal.
  • Helping at the National Hamfest this year showed no great interest.
