Regular Meetings held the Third Saturday of Each Month 8:00 AM

MEETING LOCATION CHANGE

Due to an unfortunate fire at the Tex-Mex Restaurant (Formerly N.C. Barbecue) will be changing our meeting location for the month of September. The September meeting on the 16th will be held at the Goose Creek Meeting House in Lincoln.

Directions:
At the traffic light in Purcellville turn south on Rt 722 (Maple Ave). After about 2 miles and after passing through most of the village of Lincoln you will see Janney's Store on your left; the Meetinghouse is the brick building just past the store on the left side of the road. Park in the large parking lot on the right hand side of the road across from the Meetinghouse. The LARG Club meeting will be held in the room on the south side of the Meetinghouse. We will have coffee, tea, and some donuts.

Several members have mentioned that they will be having breakfast at the McDonalds in Purcellville before the meeting, stop by if you can.

SINCE OUR LAST MEETING:

      Several members participated in a fox hunt immediately following our August meeting. Charlie, K4LJH, found a better location to hide and about an hour was required to fix his location. Everybody had a great time as we practice our radio location skills.

PLANS FOR OUR NEXT MEETING:

     In response to the fire at our normal meeting location we need to discuss alternate locations and begin planning for our relocation.

     Time permitting, we will be viewing the Video Tape of the Balloon Launch of the Colorado group (E.O.S.S.) th,is is quite a tape and will help us plan for our pending launch.
WORK IN PROGRESS:

Work continues on the balloon project. Within the next several weeks the balloon crew will begin to assemble the package. Tune in to our radio net for the exact date.
