What is Winterfest?

Winterfest is an opportunity to pick up a bargain, either new or pre-loved, and a chance to learn a few new things about Amateur Radio.
It is also an annual fundraising event to help support the Blue Mountains Amateur Radio Club.

What will be there?

There will be exhibitors, a flea market, the Club's shop, and other items of interest to the Radio Amateur.

Exhibitors who have confirmed so far include:

How much does it cost and what time does it start?

Entry to Winterfest is only $2. Children 12 years old and under accompanied by an adult are free. Gates will open at 10am. Exhibitors and Flea Market vendors will be allowed entry from 8am to set up their displays.

Food

There will be reasonably priced soft drinks and a sausage sizzle. Tea and coffeee are free.

Prize draw

Several prize draws will take place on the day. The draws are expected to take place around 1.30 p.m. and will include our usual hamper for the luck door prize.

Where?

It is at the Club's MASSIVE new hall at 18 Simeon Road, Orchard Hills. This map showing the club's location should help you get there. The new venue is also wheelchair accessible.

If you are lost on the day we will be monitoring the club repeater on 147.050+600 (123Hz) during the morning.

Public Transport

Unfortunately the nearest public transport is Kingswood station about 4km from the club, and further, Cityrail has advised that they are doing trackwork on this weekend and trains will be replaced by buses.
