[PVRCNC] Regular Monthly Meeting PVRC NC East Thursday August 2, Manchester's

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Hello PVRC and friends,

The regular first Thursday monthly meeting of the PVRC NC East chapter will
be held August 2, 2018 in the group room at Manchester's Bar and Grille,
9101 Leesville Rd, Raleigh, NC 27613.

*5:15 PM:* Arrivals begin and continue throughout the meeting. Late
arrivals please sign in on the Chairman's log when you first come in.

We do it this way because some need to arrive early enough to beat one or
more of the several regular weekday interstate jam-ups. Others can't leave
early and always get caught in the jam. So latecomers are **entirely
welcome**. We've all been there and **entirely understand**. Anyone who
comes in during the round-the-table will be picked up at the end if the
round has gone past where they are sitting. Wait staff is used to our late
arrivals. We allow a 30 second embarrassing pause for anyone who gets
caught with a mouth full of french fries when it's their turn. After 30
seconds you have to talk with your mouth full.

*6:00 PM:*  Serious, organized QRN (as opposed to blathering, meandering
QRN) begins with the round-the-table. Dining is any time after 5:15,
shortly after you tackle one of the wait staff. Official meeting is
officially over after official round-the-table, any official program, and
the chairman runs out of official blather. The entire meeting is only over
when all the post-official-meeting stand-up meetings break up and go home.
That could be anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour later.

*Official Program:* N4YDU officially returns from the WRTC wars across the
pond, and will officially document the affair, with an official emphasis on
Y87M. Unofficial assisting, contradicting, extension textifying and likely
fish storifying from N4PN, N3ND and possibly others will also be heard
throughout the general meeting. If you do it quickly, you still have time
to take Nate up on his generous official offer to take up requested subject
matter. (Email  n4ydu <at> yahoo.com if you don't know his cell number.)

Don't plan to leave early, this should be good. I haven't heard anything
about trances, levitation or the like, but only the Shadow knows what went
on under cover of darkness that far from home and moderating influences.

Program will start immediately after a mildly moderated official 'Round the
Table, so late-comers won't miss the presentation.

All are invited. Newcomers and visitors distinctly welcome. You will be
treated like you've been our friend for twenty years.

73 and see you there,

Guy K2AV
Chair, PVRC-NCE

the wait staff if he ever tries to schedule the room out from under us. If
you can't or prefer not to high tip, don't worry, nobody is looking.]
