Subject: FW: Job Vacancy at SDR-Kits

SDR-Kits has a vacancy for a part-time employee as one of our current
employees (Alan G0HEL) retires at the end of this year.

The role could be well suited to another radio amateur hence I wonder
whether you could arrange to have the information below circulated to
your club members.

I will have also ask Trowbridge Radio Club to circulate the same email
as our office in Melksham is within commuting distance of most
clubmembers of the two radioclubs.    A pdf of the vacancy is also
attached.

Many thanks.

Best wishes

Hi Paul

I am writing to ask if you would kindly circulate the following
information about my amateur radio and QTH sale to your Chippenham & District
Amateur Radio
Club members, please?

Thanks and 73 de Chris, G4BUE

G4BUE Amateur Radio Sale

<https://www.g4bue.co.uk/Amateur-Radio-Sale/> 

After 47 years of being a hoarder and building up a large store of
amateur radio equipment, sadly I have reached the stage of life where we have to
down-size to a smaller house with less land where I will not be able to
make use of, or have the room to store, much of my equipment.  I am therefore
offering it for sale before, perhaps, donating it to a club, or even scrapping it.

Whilst I am happy to package and send smaller items through the mail, I
do not have the time to despatch the larger items which will only be available
to personal callers.  I have a large amount of other amateur radio
equipment, that is too numerous to list separately, and most of which will be offered
free to personal caller purchasers.

I haven´t priced each item because I don´t have the time to research
what each item is worth etc, but if you let me know anything you are interested
in, then I will send you a postage / shipping cost, and I am sure we can come to
an agreement on the price.  Most of the equipment can be sold cheaply as I
just wish to dispose of it.

Please email me at <chris@g4bue.com> if you would like more information
about something or would like to visit and look at what I have.  I am retired
and am generally available most of the time.

I am adding new items all the time, so please look back from time to
time.  I will delete items as I sell them. 

G4BUE QTH Sale

<https://www.g4bue.co.uk/House-for-Sale/>

I am also selling our QTH and have put the details on my website above. 
I would love to split the estate agent´s commission with a radio amateur
purchaser (and save me having to dismantle the towers, antennas and
station), or split the commission with someone who introduces a purchaser to me.

Please feel free to publicise the url of my amateur radio and QTH sales
in your club magazine, club forum and anywhere else where it will be seen by
persons likely to be interested in it – thanks.

Due to increasing cases of COVID-19 in England, new advice has been provided by HM Government limiting meetings in Groups greater than 6 people. With effect from the 14th September 2020 it will be illegal in England for groups of more than 6 persons to meet up.

Kington Langley Village Hall is therefore once again closing its doors to help combat the spread of Coronavirus. All Chippenham & District ARC Club activities at the hall including Tuesday evening meetings have been suspended until further notice.

Stay safe and we hope to get back on track as soon as the situation improves.

The ongoing roadworks in Kington Langley are now right outside the hall and is affecting access to the Car Park.

News just in from Brian G6HUI is that the hall car park should be accessible by car or bike tomorrow evening in time for the resumption of Club, however be prepared to park elsewhere if needed and come equipped with a torch if you have one.

We are pleased to announce that Chippenham & District ARC will reopen its doors on Tuesday 8th September 2020.

Both the Hall and the Club are following Government advice and Guidelines with respect to COVID-19. As such there have had to be some changes; the main points are as follows:

A face covering is mandatory.

Club opening times are now between 7.30pm and 9 pm (1.5 hours duration)

Access and egress to the hall is via the side entrance from the car park – Not through the main door. Hand sanitise on arrival (hand sanitiser machine is installed and ready for use on arrival).

Toilets – one person at a time.

Weekly subs will not be collected until at least the end of the year.

We look forward to seeing you again soon.
