With me, the problem is DISTANCE and not being able to DRIVE, otherwise I'd
love to attend if not for recovering from "SHINGLES", this after having taken
the SHINGLIX Vaccine over a year ago & having had Chicken Pox in "1946" ..... (
The Pharmacist said the vaccine had a 97% Efficacy rate, guess I'm in the 3%
that the vaccine doesn't work on... )

I thought I would send out an update on the food ticket purchase for the BVARC
Annual Awards Banquet - it has been disappointing to say the least. Less than
10% of the members have purchased meals.
If you are not aware on what the BVARC Annual Awards Banquet is, it is an event
for club members to meet, eat dinner and honor other members of the club that
have worked hard supporting the club and the amateur radio hobby. With the low
sales of meals and the non-existent nominations (barely 1.5% of the club
membership has made nominations) it appears the bulk of the membership no
longer wants to honor those members. This is an unfortunate direction for an
event that shows appreciation to our outstanding members.
I have talked to the caterer, and she said she can work with a later deadline,
so the final drop-dead day has now been moved to Sunday, January 7th. If you
have any thoughts about attending, please purchase your meal tickets now. Even
if you are not attending, please make your nominations for the awards.
If you are not aware of the awards and what they are for, below is a list of
the awards and what they are for.
The Loop and Zepp Award - This award is presented to the club member that has
exhibited outstanding service in HF operation and use.
The K1JT Award - This award is presented to the club member that have exhibited
outstanding service in VHF and above operation and use.
The Dr Bill Award - This award is presented to the club member that has
exhibited outstanding service as a Volunteer Examiner.
The Order of the Key Award - The club’s highest award. This award is presented
to the one club member that has exhibited outstanding service for the club and
amateur radio.
Recommendations can also be made for Presidential awards, Appreciation
awards or any other recommendation for outstanding service by a club member.
For award nominations, please send an e-mail to n5...@att.net with your
recommendations. All nominations must now be in no later than Sunday, January
7th.
Remember, the various operating events the club has is only one function of the
club. The annual awards banquet is the time to honor club members that have
worked hard supporting the club and the amateur radio service. So, even if you
cannot make the banquet, send in your awards nomination.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
