This monthÂ*CARA will be meeting at a different venue which may become our
regular venue: Newlands Park, the home of Cheltenham Rugby Club and
formerly the Smiths Industries Sports and Social Club.Â* As many of you will
know it’s located just off the A435 between Cheltenham and Bishops Cleeve.Â*
From Cheltenham turnÂ*right at the “Smithsâ€� traffic lights and the entrance
is a little way along Southam Lane on the left.Â* A licensed bar will be
available.

The speaker will be Tim G4VXE who used to live in Cheltenham and was, form
many years,Â*an enthusiastic member of CARA.Â* He was very active on the air
and continues to be so today.Â* He is currently the “World of VHFâ€� columnist
for the monthly PW magazine.Â* The subject of his talk will be “Simple
Satellite Operation� which will appeal to many in the club.

Please note that the meeting will be on Wednesday 16th November and not on
Thursday 17th as previously advertised. Â* We look forward to a good
attendance at the meeting; to justify asking Tim to visit us from his home
near Oxford and also so that many members will have a chance to experience
the venue and to comment before the Committee decides whether or not to
move there from Brizen.Â* If the decision is to move, it will not take place
until next year.
