WICEN News

Unfinancial members are reminded that their membership will offi-
cially terminate on 30th September.

There are no further events in September (at  least,  none  about
which  we  have  been  informed), but October is shaping up to be
somewhat busy.  The VRA Annual Conference, celebrating 25  years,
will  be  held  at  Wagga on the weekend of 8-9th October.  There
will be a Dinner on Saturday 8th October, and an informal gather-
ing  on  Sunday  9th.   The "Hawkesbury Classic Paddle" is on the
weekend of 22nd-23rd October; and as before, Kevin VK2CKD  is  in
charge.   The  WICEN  Co-ordinators  conference  will  be held at
Bathurst on the weekend of 29-30th October, and the  format  will
be  that of a training Seminar with emphasis on Regional adminis-
tration, and Operations with a short business session.   Natural-
ly, all members are invited to participate.

Those regions wishing to have their activities publicised on this
broadcast are requested to get the details to the Publicity Offi-
cer,  Dave VK2KFU, by Thursday night at the latest.  Packet radio
is the preferred medium, to either VK2AAB or VK2OP BBS.  Alterna-
tively,  you  can  use  the WICEN telephone BBS on (02) 888-2763,
which is available at speeds from 300 bps to 14,400 bps.

WICEN is always looking for members to provide the community with
communications assistance.  Write to WICEN (NSW) Inc, PO Box 123,
St Leonards 2065 for further information, or come up  on  one  of
