Monthly Club Meetings
The Nashua Area Radio Club holds a regular meeting on the first Monday of
each month at the Nashua Public
Library. If the first Monday is a holiday, the meeting is held on the
second monday. This always happens in September, and occasionally happens
in July.
Meetings start at 7 PM local time, and are held downstairs in the NPL Theatre.
Members usually start appearing btween 6:30 and 6:45 PM and socialize until
the meeting starts. The general format of the meetins are:
-
Introductions - Everyone stands up and introduces themselves. Hams tend to
give their first name and callsign. Non-hams just give first names..
-
The program - Every meeting has a presentation topic. Check the club bulletin
for topics. A few meetings always have the same topic:
-
December - Club board elections and awards
-
January - Project night. Bring in your project for show and tell
-
June - Field Day overview
-
Club business - It includes:
-
Reports from the various committees: Membership, Activities, Training, Programs,
Treasurer.
-
Announcments - Import stuff regarding amateur radio.
-
Anything else people think needs to be brought up.
-
Afterwards - Once the meeting ends people socialize for varying amounts of
time (The library closes at 9 PM). In the late spring, summer, and early
fall, a post meeting gathering is often held at Haywood's Ice Cream on South
Main St.
