Teams should meet in the east car park of the Old Ship Inn in Port Seton at 18:30 for a briefing prior to the hunt commencing at 19:00.

This event is a real challenge as it is done in the dark, I’m sure everyone will have a great time.

I received notification today to say that the club has retained the “Tartan Trophy” for once again being the Leading VHF Field Day station in Scotland in the Open Section.

We ended up 6th overall in the Section so well done to everyone who took part

I have just received a phone call to say that Ron GM4IKU has passed away. I do not know any other details as yet but as and when I will let you know.

Ron was a great friend to many of us and he will be sadly missed by us all.

Difficult to know what to say at these times but as always our deepest sympathies go out to Aileen his XYL, Kenneth his son and all the rest of the family.

RIP Ron your suffering is now over.

=============================================================

I have received a phone call from Aileen, Ron’s XYL about Ron’s funeral arrangements. Note there will be no announcements in any papers at the family’s request but Aileen has asked if I will pass on the arrangements to you all.

Geoff MM5AHO is first delivering his talk on the 2011 Lighthouse Adventures and when he is finished we are going to use the time to get your feedback and input on the Winter Project that Geoff has already posted as a FORUM. Please read the Forum and update it with any comments before the evening so that a general feel can be obtained on the idea.

The aim of the discussion is to decide if we think it is a feasible project and if so where do we go from there. Remember it is your club so feedback is important.

Thanks in advance

After the success of Geoff’s 2010 Lighthouse Weekend event from his yacht sailing around Oban and Inner Hebridean Islands he decided to do the same again this year but targetting very rare and hard to get lighthouses i.e. Skerryvore which lies to the West of the Island of Tiree.

He has produced another talk which he will be delivering to the Club on Friday 11th November in Resources Room 1, Port Seton Resources Centre (Community Centre) from 19:30 onwards.

I hope you can all make an effort to attend which I know will be an absolutely fascinating….
