MAKE A NOTE IN YOUR DIARY FOR THE CHARCT HAMFEST TO BE HELD
ON 4TH DECEMBER 2010
AT THE MIENA COMMUNITY HALL, MIENA, IN THE BEAUTIFUL CENTRAL HIGHLANDS.
Sponsored by the Central Highlands Amateur Radio Club of Tasmania this biennial (every 2 years) event is centered literally in the middle of Tasmania in the thriving Central Highlands town of Miena.
The Miena Hamfest is less than a month away and preparations are being finalised many traders from interstate who have already booked their places for Miena.
The Ham Fest is set down for the 4th of December commencing at 10.00 am and will conclude at approximately 2.00 PM entry fee is $5.00 dollars per person or family and goes towards the cost of running the event and will include free tea and coffee, soft drinks will also be available for sale food will be on sale from approximately 11.00am and will include the famous Miena Saveloys and sauce together with hamburgers and sausages in bread all made from the finest local ingredients.
For those of you that have not attended Miena before the hall is sited close to the Miena lodge in Haddons Bay and is adjacent to the Ambulance and Fire Service building, it is a great modern venue well equipped and despite what global warming throws at us is very comfortable. The local repeater will be monitored for anyone losing their way and seeking directions its frequency is 438.500 with no tone required.
I have not heard yet of anyone looking to sell pre-loved equipment and room has been set aside for that purpose, please contact Dave VK7OB on 62730642 0429123080 should you wish to set up a stand.
I am looking for a few helpers for the day and would appreciate a call from any one who can see their way clear to assist master class chefs are welcome as some assistance in the BBQ area would be great.
If anyone has any thing that they think could add value to the day please do not hesitate to contact me we are open to suggestions.

From the VK7 Regional News 5th December:-
Central Highlands Hamfest - Miena
What a fantastic day yesterday. The weather was great. And of course the venue was excellent as well. Officially there was 156 people who attended included many XYLs and children. There were some great raffle and door prizes that were donated by our wonderful sponsors who were:
TTS Systems and Dave & Chloe,
TET Emtron and Mark,
P.K. Antennas and Peter,
And Active Electronics.
The prizes included a 12m HF Vertical, Charger Kit, 4:1 Balun, Digital Set Top boxes and Dipole Centres and many attendees went away very happy people. There were many stands of pre-loved equipment including a stand manned by John VK1CL all the way from the ACT and all these stands were doing a brisk trade. A big thank you to Marilyn VK7FMAZ and her band of merry caterers in the kitchen and the crew on the BBQs there were saveloys, hamburgers and snags which disappeared quickly during the day.
A big thank you to Dave VK7OB and all the members of the Central Highlands Amateur Radio Club of Tasmania who hosted the hamfest and organised the many many items that go into making the VK7 Hamfest a real success, which it certainly was yesterday. We will be putting some pictures of the event on the website over the next few days.
