Chairman
A CALL FOR HELP FROM THE LADIES OF BYLARA & OTHERS
Could you
please complete the questionnaire in the centre of this newsletter?
I am trying to put together a general view of YL’s in Radio in
2008/9.
Please be
assured that just myself will see your answers and I will not
divulge your details to anybody else.
This
information is required for talks that I am putting together to
other organisations and Clubs. It is also required to be able to
give more accurate information to those who ask me at the talks
about YL’s in the Hobby.
I have
given my first talk already that was to my own Club South Dorset
Radio Society, Weymouth. I am also booked for another talk at
Yeovil Amateur Radio Club in June.
I am also
asking you all to approach your Club’s, to see if they would like to
learn more about BYLARA and what it does and stands for, as well as
how many of us YL’s are out there.
Travel
and distance no object, as long as petrol and accommodation can be
offered if required.
I am
willing to spread the word, but I need all your help to do this, so
please do not just read this and dismiss it, because I will not ask
of you (selling BYLARA) what I will not do myself.
Anyone
wishing to take on Location Manager for the following Regions please
get in touch with me by post, email or phone anytime.
I am no
longer Secretary/Editor for SDRS, as I have been doing my duty for
4/5 years now. I feel that my concentrations should now be aimed at
promoting BYLARA. So I have started, so please help me to
continue. I would like to reach as many Clubs as possible, over
this next year and this means I will also be able to meet most of my
BYLARA ladies, AND THAT MEANS YOU.
SDRS Talk
They’re where 20 members turn up for the talk, and it lasted for
about an hour.
I
generally covered whom who and we where, how it came about thought
up the idea of starting up a Ladies only Club (which is not strictly
true as we have OM’s as well on our list).
This is what has given me the idea of tracking down as many ladies
as possible to find out if they are operators, when they started
(see other notice please).
But
like stated before, I need all of you to help me achieve this end.
I
have a stand booked at the Sherborne QRP, so if you can get along
you will be sure of a good welcome and free cup of tea.
It
would be good if the questionnaire could be added to the Website,
this is a good medium to gain information. Please send your replies
via email, phone or letter.
Hope you are all keeping well and looking forward to a good year
ahead.
Could we also bear in mind that 2009 is our 30th year and this
should be celebrated by a grand meeting at a venue suitable for
everyone or those that can make it. Choose a venue, possibly
Drayton Manor Rally or some other similar Rally that is on next
year. I feel this is extremely important for the morale/name/status
of the Club in the Radio fraternity.
Would you please get back to me on this issue, so we can get the
planning into operation as soon as possible. This is something to
celebrate, so let’s go for it ladies.

Also to keep all other Location Managers informed of each other.

As you can see the Areas can also be sub divided to give a better
coverage. At most, it is a couple of hours a month total work.
None of the Location Managers are expected to give Talks but
attending local Rallies with support would be greatly appreciated.
This is as far as I can go at present, or until anyone else comes
forward. I cannot do this alone, but I will get it going even it I
have to go solo.
If you require any further information on the matter, please direct
all your enquiries direct to myself.
Have a good quarter, 73 & 88 de Carol 2E1RBH – Chairman
