VK2 WICEN News,  20th July 2008

        WICEN is still in need of high-resolution photographs -- both film and digital -- for display and archive purposes; all costs of duplication and postage will be covered. Given the number of exercises lately we are sure that there must be some good photographs in circulation. Please contact the Management Committee if you can help.

     The Shahzada 400km Horse Enduro is on again over the week of 25-29th August. Operators for the full week or even just one day are required, with food, fuel, and floor-space being provided, along with long hours, missed meals, and lots of fun.

    Another event confirmed for this year is the Barrington Tops SAREX (Search and Rescue exercise) over the weekend of 18-19th October (unfortunately the same weekend as JOTA).

    The next major event is the Hawkesbury Canoe Classic, to be held over the weekend of 1st-2nd November. This requires many volunteers to monitor the location of hundreds of competitors paddling 111km down the Hawkesbury under a moonlit night, and their safety is paramount. If you can assist with this important event which raises money for the Arrow Foundation then please contact either Neil Fallshaw VK2XNF or Mark Cheeseman VK2XGK.

    You can register your interest in any WICEN event by sending email to "operations@nsw.wicen.org.au", or by calling the Duty Officer on 0408-397-217.
