The Summerland Amateur Radio Club will be involved in The Great Eastern Fly-In, held at the Evans Head Memorial Aerodrome on the weekend of the 9th and 10th of January. SARC will be assisting with airband communications, and will have a stall showcasing Amateur Radio. Event details are at: http://www.greateasternflyin.com

Members should prepared for activation over the summer period, as until recently this has been the busiest period for incidents. Despite several record lows being set, and snow falling outside the usual alpine areas, last year was the warmest on record for Australia according to the BOM, and the highest windspeed ever detected in NSW was recorded during the Kurnell tornado.
