SARC 2023
The Summerland Amateur Radio Club Hamfest (“SARCFEST”) is on again after a long absence, partly due to Covid.
This will be a no-frills Sarcfest, with no entry or sellers fees. We are aiming to sell a lot of equipment and parts that have accumulated and much of this will go for bargain prices.
It’s also a bit of a social event, to catch up with all those ham friends scattered widely across the Northern Rivers region and from VK4.
Put the date in your calendar – Saturday September 23rd.
The location is at the clubrooms 412 Richmond Hill Road, Richmond Hill, 2480. About 10 minutes drive east of Lismore through the suburb of Goonellabah, or about 20 minutes from the M1 near Ballina, via the Alstonville bypass.
We will have secure card payment facilities available for club purchases.
