Sewing Circle Net Meet The Voice BBQ
 

The Sewing Circle Net "Meet the Voice BBQ" is set for Sunday 18 March 2012, at Ross. 
Full details are available at the Sewing Circle Net website - http://sewingcircle.org -. 

This year will see, along with the famous raffle and car 
boot sale, the addition of an auction of quality equipment. As in previous
years, all funds raised at the BBQ event will go towards repeater maintenance.
 
The Sewing Circle Net is looking for suitable items that you are able to donate 
for the auction. If you have any suitable equipment, that you are able to
donate to the auction, take it to the REAST club rooms on the domain, as they 
have made a collection space available. Alternatively, you can contact Vince,
VK7VH via -vk7vh at hotmail dot com-.
 
Just let us know a description of what you have available and we will 
put the description, along with a thank you by-line, your name and call sign, into 
our web page. If you are unable to attend the Ross event, we can arrange for 
someone to deliver it to Ross.
 
We encourage you to make a big effort and consider what equipment you 
have that you no longer use, and donate it to the auction. Remember, every dollar
raised goes towards repeater maintenance around Tasmania. So, have a look about 
the shack and select an item or two that you would be willing to donate to the auction. 

This is your chance to give something back to amateur radio in Tasmania. Check 
out the  -sewingcircle.org- website for the list of items that have been donated 
(so far) to the auction. Thank you to all that have made a donation. What do 
you have that you are able to donate?
 
Make sure you set aside Sunday 18 March 2012 and organise to bring yourself and 
all your family to this great event. It is a fun day and is an ideal opportunity 
for you to catch up or meet new people that you may have only spoken to on air.
 
This year, the raffle prize will be the latest model FDC dual band VHF/UHF 
hand held 5 watt radio. Your $5.00 enrty fee to the BBQ event will include 2
free tickets in the raffle. Extra tickets will be available for Just $1.00 each or 3 for $2.00.
 
The car boot sale is being organised by Ray Smith, VK7VKV. Load up your 
vehicle with all those goodies and bring them to the Ross BBQ event.
If past years are anything to go by, the car boot sale will see many bargains
available and some very brisk trade. Should you require any information, 
send Ray an email  - vk7vkv at hotmail dot com -.

If you need more information, check out the sewingcircle.org website, come 
up on the nightly Sewing Circle Net, held from 5pm to 6pm on 3.590MHz or 
send an email to -vk7vh at hotmail dot com-.
