Despite being hopeful the Covid situation would continue to improve, the worsening situation has forced us to cancel some upcoming events. President Henry VK2ZHE writes:
It is with regret that I have to advise that the Oxley Region Amateur Radio Club Inc. Annual General Meeting which was called for Saturday the 1st of August 2020 has been postponed to 2pm on Saturday the 5th of September 2020 in the SES Building, Central Road, Port Macquarie. The decision to postpone the AGM until September 2020 was made by the Committee due to the current COVID-19 situation risks. The Committee apologises for the lateness of this decision and the inconvenience to members. The decision was not made lightly, but the health of our members is paramount. Many of our members are in the high risk category.
The August Monthly General Meeting that was scheduled to be held after the AGM on the 1st of August 2020 is cancelled.
Due to the impossibility of maintaining the mandated social distancing within the club’s Communication Caravan, the Committee has had to regretfully cancel the planned VK2BOR participation in the RD Contest on the weekend of the 15th and 16th of August 2020. Members are encouraged to participate in the RD contest from their home stations. It is important to submit a log as this will help the VK2 score in the contest.
Also cancelled for the same reason as the above RD participation cancellation, is the VK2BOR participation in the International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend on Saturday and Sunday the 22nd and 23rd of August 2020.
The Friday Night get together scheduled for the 21st of August 2020 is also cancelled.
