COAL MINERS WONTHAGGI CB RADIO CLUB
......affiliated
with
The COAL MINERS WONTHAGGI
(C.M.W.) CB RADIO CLUB was established on the 9th of May 1992.
A group of CBer's were kept busy one night tracking down some local stations
that were being abusive over the airwaves. The aftermath was a meeting held at
Dave's QTH (C.M.W. 212) where it was decided to form a CB Club by those present
who were "hoon" chasing. As the area of Wonthaggi was deep in history
with its black coal mines since 1915 and most of those CBers present had family
who were ex-miners, it was decided to name the club, Coal Miners Wonthaggi CB
Radio Club.
The Club has members throughout Australia, Canada and New Zealand with the
Club's aims and objects being to help prospective CBers, assist operators with
CB related problems and to enjoy the hobby of CBing with emphasis on
establishing friendships through radio.
The joining fee is $10.00 a single or $15.00 for couples a year. Members receive
a Club callsign, membership certificate, 5 complimentary QSL cards, a membership
ID card and 6 news-letters a year. For a small fee a miner's token ring with the
members callsign stamped on it can be purchased. The local members do a fair bit
of voluntary work at the mines as tour guides and winch drivers with an
involvement in the local S.E.S.
The Club's Committee consist of
PRESIDENT David, (212);
VICE PRESIDENT Andrew (222);
TREASURER Peter, (245);
SECRETARY Trish (213);
EDITOR Ray, (217) and
ASS. EDITOR Trent, (219)
