Ithought I would send out an update on the food ticket purchase for the BVARCAnnual Awards Banquet - it has been disappointing to say the least. Less than10% of the members have purchased meals.
If youare not aware on what the BVARC Annual Awards Banquet is, it is an event for clubmembers to meet, eat dinner and honor other members of the club that haveworked hard supporting the club and the amateur radio hobby. With the low salesof meals and the non-existent nominations (barely 1.5% of the club membershiphas made nominations) it appears the bulk of the membership no longer wants to honor thosemembers. This is an unfortunate direction for an event that shows appreciationto our outstanding members. I havetalked to the caterer, and she said she can work with a later deadline, so thefinal drop-dead day has now been moved to Sunday, January 7th. Ifyou have any thoughts about attending, please purchase your meal tickets now. Evenif you are not attending, please make your nominations for the awards. If youare not aware of the awards and what they are for, below is a list of theawards and what they are for. The Loopand Zepp Award - This award is presented to the club member that has exhibitedoutstanding service in HF operation and use.
