	~~<strike>Our~~ application ~~has~~ to be in by ~~Friday 29th June~~.</~~strike> - Joint Application is~~ in.		We have put in a joint application with [http://www.basingstokearc.co.uk/ Basingstoke ARC], they will be using their club call on 4m and 6m, we will be using G3KMI/P on 2m and 70cm.

			== Plan ==

			Thursday Night - Meeting
			* Go through kit list to see if we've forgotten anything/everything.
			* Power - do we have the right/enough cables for everything.
			* Plan assembling of kit on Friday.

			Friday Night
			* Assemble as much kit as possible into Phil's car, the rest into Morse's car.
			* Food run to asda?

			Saturday
			* Phil will take car up, pick Henry up from Basingstoke station at 8:40 and aim to be on-site by 9am.
			* Morse will follow with Chris O and Chris P.
			* Contest starts at 3pm local time.

			Sunday
			* Morning - G3KMI HF Net - Andrew, Graeme?
			* 3pm Contest Ends

			I propose we have an evening early next week where we get together and clean the tents/tarps, as many do not belong to us and we'd like to be able to borrow them in the future!

	A location suggested by Chris G3WIE is a lay-by on Lanes End Down ([http://goo.gl/maps/567X Google Streetview]), Ted G3XUX uses this location to run a 4m net on Sunday mornings and says it works well, unfortunately the site is unsuitable for any guyed mast.
