Hello Phil, yes we were?speaking of practical sessions,
hands-on operating, which at times to my understanding could for some involve
explaining the how and why in a one-to-one if required.
?
Hands-on programming of radios could be a part of these sessions, perhaps
like a 'skills night' we could develop and expand this, the key aspect of these
evenings would be the practical bias.
?
At this stage the days, times and venue are secondary, though Bidborough
is available except Friday evenings and weekends.
?
The costs would be as per existing sessions in the hall, so longer term if
this were successful the members/committee would need to consider the on-going
funding.
?
This is just an idea that has been suggested to help members not equipped
so well at home, and those wanting a more practical/informal meeting. It will
need the committee to take a decision depending on feedback, and make a
proposal if this is to go ahead.
?
Thanks for the input so far, and?we also need to hear from those members we
currently see less often and have station limitations.?
?
Keith?

??? I was of the impression that the operating evening was more to
augment the existing meeting structure rather than generate additional
sessions. I'm in favour of the proposal, broadly speaking. Two questions do
come to mind however. Firstly, is the venue available for these new events.
Secondly, whilst we may be able to afford a short term dip of the toe into the
water, if this is successful, how do you see the long term funding?
