[PARC] Meeting Tuesday April 7th

[David Moes]

This is a reminder of the meeting tomorrow night of the Peterborough 
Amateur Radio Club.

We will have much less on the agenda so donuts and coffee will be served 
in a reasonable time.

The only  semi major item up is the vote for the proposed amendment to 
the bylaws regarding sale of club assets We have discussed the amendment 
and it seems to be well worded so I am hoping that we can have the vote 
and get it over with and start to sell some items We have some items 
including a rather fine looking  linear and matching tuner.  As well as 
a few HF rigs  a really nice Vibroplex paddle set  and several lots of 
miscellaneous parts and accessories.  the list will be sent out well in 
time for the next meeting as My hope is to hold the auction at the May 
meeting  and it will be open to anyone attending the meeting.   So tell 
your friends.

There is also a short film followed by a short Q&A session about the new 
repeaters that we will soon have on the air.

see agenda below.

73 see you Tuesday night.

Proposal to amend the bylaw in regards to the disposition of club assets.

The current bylaw restricts the sale of club assets by auction at club
meeting.    with items of large value this could potentially reduce
the sale price significantly below market value especially with items 
that have a limited market.  If we were to allow sale of large value 
item we could sell at market value and use the money from the sale for 
purchase of club equipment and for other club activities.

original

21.1 Any equipment etc. that the Peterborough Amateur Radio Club wishes 
to dispose of, is to be sold by either Auction or sealed bids, at a 
regular monthly meeting. Items going on sale shall be listed in the club 
bulletin prior to the meeting of the Sale/Auction.

proposedfor tonight’s vote

21.1 disposition of assets of the Peterborough Amateur Radio Club are to 
be done by  Auction  at a regular monthly meeting.  Items going on sale 
shall be listed via email to club members and at the meeting prior to

significant value, to assets market value and what the set reserve bid 
should be.  Any items that do not sell at the meeting will be sold by 
the executive committee or appointed agent at a flea market, hamfest, 
online swap shop or online auction or any other means that will bring 
the best possible price. The item shall not to be sold for less than the 
high bid at the club Auction. If item then fails to sell within 120 
days.  It will be offered back to the person that offered the highest
