CTARC Forthcoming Meeting: Flea Market - 7 Mar '15
Each year the Cape Town Amateur Radio Centre holds its annual Flea Market / Car Boot Sale on the first Saturday of March. This year we will do so on 7 March 2015 at 11h00 S.A.S.T., (NOTE THE CHANGE OF STARTING TIME) with the setup time for sellers from 10h00. As before, it promises to be a highly sociable event.
This meeting will be open to all radio amateurs, their friends and interested persons. As always, we welcome all those who would like to join the Cape Town Amateur Radio Centre, one of the oldest Radio Amateur clubs in South Africa.
Committee members are requested to be at the clubhouse from 09h30 to assist with setting up the event.
Now is the time for all local radio hams to clear their shacks of equipment and components surplus to requirements and bring same to the Flea Market to sell. The meeting is open to all radio amateurs and interested persons, as well as our CTARC members.
Yes, we do understand that parting with your surplus gear is not unlike sawing off your arm, but be brave. Other hams will thank you! Your wives will thank you! Unused equipment can be converted into ready cash! Our Flea Market is the ideal opportunity to find (and dispose of) all sorts of bits and pieces. As always, "caveat emptor" !
Because available tables at the Centre are very limited, it is requested that those of you selling equipment bring your own tables. Your vehicle's boot is an effective sales platform. As before, a nominal fee (to assist Club funds) will be charged to those selling equipment at the event.
A raffle for a mystery prize will be held, to help to raise funds for the 145.750 MHz repeater battery requirements.
Anne will be running the now-famous Boerewors Roll and Hamburger stand. She kindly requests assistance with running the stand throughout the day. Please e-mail her at zs1ct@ctarc.org.za should you and / or your YL / XYL be available to help.
Please note that the image below is for illustrative purposes alone. The CTARC cannot guarantee that you will find the elusive widget that you have been searching for at a nominal price, but then again - you just might!

Further details will be published presently.
