                             WICEN News

The  next WICEN Blue Mountains meeting will be tomorrow, starting
at 8pm.  The location is the Glenbrook Bush Fire Brigade  Station
and  there  will  be  a talk in on 147.175 MHz simplex for people
needing directions.  The guest speaker will be  Phil  VK2GPB  who
will  be  giving  a  lecture  and showing some videos on bushfire
awareness and survival techniques.  All  interested  persons  are
invited  to  attend, and for more information please contact Alan
VK2YYJ on (02) 839-1388 during office hours.

Exercise-stressed members will be pleased to learn that there are
no  major exercises this month, although October will be somewhat
busy.  The VRA Annual Conference, celebrating 25 years,  will  be
held  at  Wagga on the weekend of 8-9th October.  At this confer-
ence Max Walters will step down after 25 years as President, so a
large attendance is expected.  There will be a Dinner on Saturday
8th October, and an informal gathering on Sunday 9th.   There  is
also a family outing on Saturday whilst delegates are at the con-
ference.  Any WICEN member wishing to attend should  contact  the
State  Co-ordinator,  John Howard VK2AMH on (02) 477-6616, TODAY.
The "Hawkesbury Classic Paddle" is on the  weekend  of  22nd-23rd
October; and as before, Kevin VK2CKD is in charge.  The WICEN Co-
ordinators conference will be held at Bathurst on the weekend  of
29-30th October.  The format will be primarily a training Seminar
with emphasis on Regional administration, and Operations  with  a
short  business  session.  All members are invited, and they will
be able to contribute towards its success.
