Chairman's Report, presented at the 2006 AGM.

2005 has been a difficult year for the club but again we have survived.

The Gleed Boys School has been booked again thanks to another good rally there, the increase in fee for the school has been kept to a minimum.

It is debatable whether the junk sales are viable in their present form.

The club has a good working relationship between the SHDC and the BBC and as a result this year has been taken up with equipping the shack.

It is now fully operational on HF VHF and 24cms. More cabinets have been installed for space. CW classes will soon be available.

It is now time for the club to make use of the mobile portakabin and get the club call signs used, with your help this can be done.

The club has purchased some more test equipment for members use.

To round off the year we had a nice Christmas meal at the Mail Cart, the money raised on the raffle was donated to Pam xyl of the late Dave MOCPI.
