July's "Chat 'n Chew" meeting was an excellent night all round, despite the weather. Check the club meeting minutes for details. (The saussie rolls must have gone fast; none there when I looked!) The August meeting, on Wednesday 20 August 2014, is an early-start (7pm) "Home and Away" event: the club will be doing a show 'n' tell at the Newlands Marae (Nga Hau E Wha O Papararangi, in Ladbrooke Road, Newlands) . Members who cannot make it are invited to come on-air about 7.30pm -- 7050 LSB -- and provide some input for our guests to be suitably impressed by. Glenn ZL2KZ will be picking up passengers at the Lutheran Church Hall, King St, Newtown, at 6.30pm; let him know if you need a lift.
The September meeting of Branch 50 NZART was held on Tuesday 20 September from 1pm - 3pm at The Collective Community Hub at 1/33 Johnsonville Rd.
