Monthly Club Meetings

The Nashua Area Radio Club holds a regular meeting on the first Tuesday of each month at the First Church of Nashua, Google Map. If the first Tuesday is a holiday, the meeting is held on the second Tuesday.

Meetings start at 7 PM local time, and are held downstairs. Social time with coffee and donuts begins at 6:30 PM. Members usually start appearing between 6:30 and 6:45 PM and socialize until the meeting starts.

The general format of the meetings is:

• 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. In the late spring, summer, and early fall, a post meeting gathering is often held at Haywood's Ice Cream on South Main St.
