Survey of Interest in Upgrade Class sent out

A survey was sent to all our members today to determine how many might be interested in an Upgrade Class to General to be held next spring.   So far the survey has been mailed only to NCRC members, but we might open it up to a state-wide audience at a later date.

Please fill in the short form and return it (its an Email thing — just fill in the blanks and press the SUBMIT button at the bottom).

Technician Class Up and Running

The latest NCRC Technician Class began on Monday September 16, with seven students.  Classes will be held for the next five Monday, and an exam will be held on October 28th.  As we did last session, students who pass the exam and join NCRC for two years will receive a HT once they receive their license.

Remember that the October NCRC meeting will be held at the VFW Post

Future Meetings At Gilbert-Burton VFW Post

Anyone who has attended recent NCRC meetings knows that we’ve outgrown our long-time home at the ARC.  For the past several months the club has been looking for larger accommodations.  We are happy to announce that beginning in October, meetings will now be held at the Gilbert-Burton VFW Post, 52 Underwood Lane, Middletown, RI.

This is a much larger facility with ample parking and is located right off of Coddington Highway.
