Old Wine New Bottle Syndrome

Hi

Its been a long time that I had posted something on this blog but no excuses really. Been away really been on long long leave from place of employment and happy about it.

Anyway, as you would have all known that MARTS has elected a new council in place for the 2009 2011 term. A short time considering that the term for 2009 was nearly the end.

My observation on the AGM or EGM or whatever GM is that - there are no shortage of detractors but there was a shortage of volunteers. When nominations were opened - there were only two names on the board which showed that the two were willing to work with anybody. Ok OK the two names were 9W2 GL and me. We were willing to work with anyone so much so that to show that we did not have a list. Come what may we were willing to put our shoulders to the boulder and start moving. (OK OK bad pun as GL can't put his shoulder)

Anyway - the council has had a meeting and as per gag order, I (well I am the Vice President) I can't divulge what has been decided BUT what I can do is invite suggestions and suggestions from you ham members on what you want - what sort of activities you want - BUT remember ask not for the skies as it may bring rain and thunder - hhhheeeheheh pun intended)

So - send it your suggestions - and even though you are not a member of MARTS or you are a lapsed member of MARTS or you paid but no acknowledgment of payment by MARTS - ALL ARE WELCOME.

You can post it here or on the face book group created Malaysian Amateur Radio Transmitters Society (oh I note that after the creation of this facebook group there have been others created too).

We, no, I need your feed back and your suggestions in order to formulate the schedule of events and the necessary budgets for the events and running of the Society.

BTW don't forget to support the ARDF event at Skudai Johor at the end of January 2010.
