REMINDER: This Wednesday - ROAST ROLLS AND RADIO NIGHT!

Something a little different is happening at REAST this month. On Wednesday March 18 from around 7pm, we’re combining good food with good radio for a relaxed evening of conversation, tinkering and experimenters’ chat.

Thanks to our Chef Extraordinaire Tony VK7VKT, we’ll have hot roast rolls and vegetarian options available on the night. It’s a simple idea – grab a roll, catch up with fellow amateurs, talk radio projects, swap ideas, and see what everyone has been experimenting with lately.

At just $5 a roll, it’s an easy and affordable dinner with friends while enjoying our favourite topic… amateur radio. Softdrinks are also available for discounted rates.

So come along, bring your stories, your projects, and your appetite. Good food, good company, and plenty of radio talk. That sounds like a pretty solid Wednesday night.

To let us know you are coming along so we can cater and you don’t miss out on yummy food – you can grab a ticket through TidyHQ – you can even pre-purchase (see link below).
