posted 24 Oct 2011 20:24 by GCARS Secretary   [ updated 31 Oct 2011 03:19 ]

Now only a few weeks away from our annual Hamfest every table in the hall has been booked. That's over 40 tables of new and second hand gear that will be available.

If you're still interested in coming please contact our Hamfest coordinator at hamfest@gcars.com.au, we have space in the annex but you will need to provide your own table & chairs. The annex is off one side of the hall and is covered.

EDIT: Due to demand we will be providing tables for those out in the annex. While we cannot guarantee chairs at this stage we should be able to provide these also. Apologies if this has caused any inconvenience.
