    MMARS WEEKLY RADIO NETS - a way to keep in touch between scheduled Meetings:
    • EVERY MONDAY - 145.225 MHz at 2000 CLOCK TIME
    • EVERY THURSDAY - 28.400 MHz at 2030 CLOCK TIME
    ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTIONS - following the recommendations of the Treasurer these remain at £2.00 per annum per member liable. (At the Annual General Meeting in September 1971, inter alia, non-wage-earners, students and pensioners were thereafter considered EXEMPT from paying subscriptions). As we rely upon membership subscriptions for the day to day running and administration of the Society and due to prompt and full payment have been able to avoid any increases for many years, would you please settle when convenient. The Equipment and other funding, including any accommodationn fees, Annual BBQ expenses, miscellaneous expenses etc. comes from a separate account sustained by the efforts of a hard-working group within the Society.

    MEETINGS

    MMARS Meetings are now held at THE SOUTH MELTON COMMUNITY CENTRE, DALBY ROAD, MELTON MOWBRAY (O.S. Sheet 129 - NGR SK750177) at 7.30 for 8.00pm and a booking has been made for all the above scheduled meetings. A sketch location map is available free from the Secretary for those not familiar with the area.
    (The meeting place is different from all preceding seasons as a result of the declining state of the previous locus forcing us to vacate same).
