Lovely day so people are going to be out and about today rather than talking radio tonight. Also, it’s MGP practice next Wednesday and several members are marshalling not to mention difficulty in getting down South due to road closures, so there will be no meeting next Wednesday either. 73 all

Postponement of Brian King talk
It is with regret that Brian King’s talk on the Mary Rose next week 12th September has been postponed due to unexpected events beyond our control. We will advise when the talk will be re-scheduled. It is not certain that there will be a meeting at all at Tromode.

Brian Rose talk on the Mary Rose
A reminder that Brian King will return to give a talk on King Henry VIII’s battleship the Mary Rose on Tuesday 12th September at 7:30 at Tromode.. We remember with pleasure his presentation on the Racehorse, so it is likely to be popular, come early to secure your seat!
Tynwald Day
Due to Tynwald Day activities there will be no club meeting in Ballasalla this Wednesday 5th July.
National Field Day 1/2nd July
The Club National Field Day station planned for the mobile shack field has been cancelled.
VHF National Field Day 1st-2nd July
The Club is participating this coming weekend at Neil’s field just off the Ballamoddha. Bands are from 6M to 1.3 GHz inclusive, generally from 1400 to 1400, although there are some variances (checkout RSGB rules). We hope to be able to cover most bands, so do come along and take a turn to see if we can operate and make contacts over most of the period. The club mobile shack will be the centre of operations but some members have campers. Any questions ring John at 483246 or Matty on manxmat@gmail.com

Station at the Tractor Show on Saturday 17th
The IOMARS had a display on the Saturday at the recent Vintage tractor Show in Castletown. There was considerable interest shown by passers-by, and other special event stations were contacted by phone and CW mainly on 40M. After a wet start the rain held off and the members who attended had a pleasant day. (Photo not available)
