The first meeting of the newly-elected committee took place on Saturday the

provision of services to members. The full list of officers for 2008/2009,
including their contact details, is now available on the
Society's web site at www.irts ie.
Other items considered at the meeting included the status of issues under
discussion with ComReg, the need to guard against unlicensed intrusions into
the amateur bands, and the timing of future radio theory examinations.

The Society again plans to host a stand at this year's Rally scheduled from
June 27th to 29th.
In order to draw up a roster of Irish hams visiting the Rally who might be
willing to help in manning the Stand, those planning to travel are invited
to send their names and contact details to Sean Donelan EI4GK. Sean's email
address is "donelansean at gmail dot com". The commitment required from
any individual is unlikely to be great but any assistance offered will be
much appreciated.

Cork Radio Club, Rally Venue Change
Due to the closure of the Blarney Park Hotel the club has had to move the
Rally to a new location. The Hotel that CRC has selected offers the same
facilities as Blarney giving even more space to accommodate more traders and
amateurs.
Cork Radio Club are very much looking forward to hosting the rally this year
at Montenotte Hotel, Cork on Sunday the 14th of September and hope you will
share the same commitment as before in the last 16 years.
Further details will be posted with regards to the location "how to get
there" etc. A short video of the venue can be viewed on "you tube"
URL www.youtube.com/ei5crc.
The Cork Radio Club meets every Monday night at 8.30 pm at 1a Assumption
Road Cork. Further details from the club Secretary, Frank Mason EI6EVB at
QTHR.
