WICEN News

This  is a reminder that the Sydney WICEN 2m repeater has had its
cavities re-aligned, and objective reports are welcome;  perhaps,
as a result, the regular Sydney WICEN net can start again.  Unfi-
nancial members are reminded that their membership will official-
ly terminate on 30th September.

Hunter  meetings are held on the third Monday of the month at the
Emergency Operations Centre, corner of Elizabeth and Hannel  Sts,
Carrington,  commencing  at 7pm.  The September lecture, held to-
morrow, will be in the form of various videos of interest from Mt
Macedon, the Australian Emergency Management Institute.

Looking  ahead  to October, there is the VRA Annual Conference on
the weekend of 8-9th October, to be held in  Wagga,  and  further
details  will appear in a later broadcast.  As a result, the Man-
agement Committee meeting next month will move to  15th  October,
which unfortunately conflicts with JOTA.  The "Hawkesbury Classic
Paddle" is on 22nd-23rd October, and the WICEN Co-ordinators Con-
ference is on 29-30th October, at Bathurst.
