WARC
WESTCUMB AMATEUR RADIO CLUB
Westmorland County, NB & Cumberland County, NS
WARC Club Brunches in 2012
January 2012 Brunch - Westwinds Restaurant, Amherst, NS.

    The WARC January 2012 Brunch took
place on Saturday the 21st starting at 11
am at the Westwinds Restaurant in
Amherst, NS.

    There was a great turnout of amateurs,
spouses and visitors this time and we even
had some great weather to encourage
everyone to participate. Although no bright
sunshine, the roads were mostly clear and
driving was easy. Visitors were Bruce
Harvey, VE1II and his son, Michael,
VE1MBH both from Truro, NS.

    The unofficial head count was 24
although there was some debate as to the
actual number. Since 24 was the count in
January of last year, I'm sticking with
that one for this year. Would the early
onset of 'cabin fever' be the reason for
such a good turnout?

    Everyone seemed to have a good time
'chin-wagging' and enjoying their meals.
Why does VE1SM always get served first?
One of life's little mysteries. :-)

    Thanks to VE1ZX, Brad who assisted
with the photography and please credit

February 2012 Brunch - Patterson's Restaurant, Sackville, NB.


The February 2012 Brunch took
place at Patterson's Restaurant
in Sackville, NB starting at 11 am.
There were 15 brunchers there
which was quite a good turnout in
spite of the weather as some
roads were snow-covered due to
the overnight and early morning
snow. By all reports, everyone
had an enjoyable time and good
meals. Due to the 15 cm snowfall
in our area near Truro, we erred
on the side of caution and did not
venture out to attend. Thanks to
Lorne VE1BXK for the photos and
report here.
