Jim asked about rescheduling the next meeting to the first Monday of the month (September 6) rather than the Monday following the General Meeting (September 13). After a short discussion, it was agreed to meet on September 13, as scheduled.
Charlie Bovaird informed the meeting that the flea market of the Candlewood Amateur Radio Association (CARA) would be held at Newtown’s Edmond Town Hall on Sunday, September 12, and that DACS had been invited to display publicity on its general table. It was the consensus that, in exchange, an ad for CAARA’s flea market be placed in the September issue of the newsletter.
