Albury - Wodonga is the centre of a large population of Amateur Radio, Electronics and Computer enthusiasts in Southern New South Wales and North Eastern Victoria with the bonus of also being surrounded by a large variety of tourist venues in the region. More information can be found at our local tourism page. We have traditionally had visitors and commercial interests from as far afield as South Australia, Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney participate in our field days.

All displays (other than masts and larger satellite dishes) are held under cover in the High School Hall and the club will provide morning and afternoon teas and lunch for two representatives of each Commercial display on Sunday (the main display day).

We employ on site security for the hall and displays on Saturday night for those exhibitors who wish to setup on the Saturday afternoon.

The Field Day Dinner will be held in the Commercial Club, Albury on Saturday evening complete with guest speaker/s. Cost will be $25.00 (maybe) per head. You are welcome to utilise the club facilities after the dinner in an attempt to boost your fortunes.
(One lucky 1998 Field Day Exhibitor won $2000 plus on the pokies)
