Just a reminder that the Oxley Region Amateur Radio Club station VK2BOR will be operating from the club’s Communications Caravan at McInherney Park all day on Saturday the 19th of March 2016.  Club members and visitors are invited to participate in an enjoyable day.

The caravan will be set up from 8 am onwards in the car park at McInherney Park.  Come and help with the set up and enjoy a delicious bacon and egg breakfast from the barbeque expertly prepared by Richard VK2CHC who will also prepare a delicious sausage sizzle lunch on the barbeque under the covered picnic area in the park.  Tea, coffee and soft drinks will be available in the caravan all day.  The Field Day contest operation commences at mid day.  The club will operate for 6 hours.

To get to McInherney Park simply follow Park Street past Settlement City.  Immediately after crossing the bridge, turn left at River Park Road which is the turn off to Jordan’s Boatshed.  Follow River Park Road but turn right at McInherney Close which is just before the end of River Park Road.  If you end up at the end of River Park Road you have gone too far.  McInherney Close is a short street and just before Jordan’s Boatshed you will see the club’s caravan in the park car park on your left hand side.  Park in the car park and join in the activities.

Don’t forget the club’s Friday get together at 7 pm on Friday night the 18th of March 2016 in the SES building in Central Road Port Macquarie.  It will be an interesting evening.  You might get a chance to look at the new Raspberry Pi 3.  The logistics and strategy for the John Moyle Memorial Field Day on Saturday will be discussed.  Enjoy a tea or coffee in great company.  Members and visitors are all welcome.
