“Buy a Book Raffle”
Please be advised, the Central Alberta Amateur Radio Club Fathers Day June Picnic has been cancelled till 2021 due to Covid-19.
In order to proceed with the club raffle, which was already underway, we wish to appeal to Amateurs all over Alberta to help us continue with the raffle, without losing money, since we would normally sell most of the tickets at the picnic.
This is our “Buy a Book” bail us out offer.
The tickets are in books of 10 tickets @ $5.00 each, so a book is $50.00.
First prize is $500 and second prize is $200 for each ticket. Only 400 tickets available.
You can etransfer $50.00 to ve6cia@gmail.com. Be sure to put your email address and the name you want on the tickets, in the message of your etransfer, as it doesn’t always come automatically.
He will fill out your 10 tickets and email back a scan of them, all filled out, and they will, personally guaranteed, go in the draw. In the unlikely event they are sold out, we will immediately advertise the raffle is closed. Should we receive an etransfer after sellout, your money will be refunded. It will be open otherwise, till Sun. June 14, 2020 and the draw will be Sunday June 21, 2020 as advertised on the ticket. AGLC licence #555551.
The videotaped and publicly posted draw, will be held in the presence of 4-5 CAARC executive members that are 6′ apart (if that still applies by then).
The raffle is open ONLY to all Alberta residents over the age of majority. They need not be licenced radio amateurs.
Cochrane Winter Rally 2020
Feb 1st
There is an opportunities for public service at the upcoming Cochrane Winter Rally. This event is sponsored by the Calgary Sports Car Club and is one of the best radio service events of the winter season. Some of you have already helped us to advertise this event, so please accept my thanks for the efforts that you have made to date.
I am helping to organize the rally and one of my responsibilities is to recruit radio operators for the event. The rallies are some of the best field radio operations opportunities available to the Amateur Radio community in our region. They are challenging, fun, and a great way to test your equipment and skills in “real world” conditions. I hope that members of your club will consider joining us.
This year’s event takes place on Sunday 08 March in the Waiparous region northwest of Cochrane. Radio operators are needed to provide communication services and safety observation at various locations throughout the course. Training is provided, so no prior experience is required.
Additional information is available at the URLs noted below. Please consider circulating this invitation among your club’s members.
General event information is posted on the Rallywest website, at:
https://www.rallywest.com/events
Information that is specific to radio operators is posted in the following forum:
Registration instructions have been posted in this forum. Anyone interested in helping at the rally should check this forum regularly for updates.
Thank you for your assistance and please contact me with any questions you may have.
