Seen at the AGM 2000
OM Hennie ZS6HEB Chairman 1999................. OM Johan ZS6JWS Treasurer 1999 .............OM Hans Potgieter ZS6ALJ President of the SARL
Like everything we do at the ERRC we started late.... but once we got started it all went 100%.
OM Hennie ZS6HEB gave the chairmans report of this very busy year.
You know we won the RADIO ZS Shield, participated in competitions, ran a couple of RAE Courses, are running a constructors competition, participated in the ARA 2000, went onto the WWW.
Not bad for a little club with less than thirty members eh??
According to our treasurer OM Johan ZS6JWS we have some money in the bank. Doesn't look like it eh?
Then our President OM Hans Potgieter ZS6ALJ gave a talk on the pro's of belonging to the SARL. After that three more members decided to join the SARL. We have the majority of our clubmembers belonging to the SARL and YOU SHOULD JOIN TODAY!!
Thank you Mr President for attending our AGM!
