Meeting times are Monday nights from 6:30pm to close, and Wednesday mornings from 8:30am onwards. The hall can be used at other times by any community group by prior arrangement for a small donation.
There are tea and coffee facilities available at 20c a cup, and canned drinks, chocolates, and chips are available at very reasonable prices. Visitors are always welcome to pop in and see what we are all about.
General Meetings are held on the second Monday of each month - seated by 7:30pm sharp. There is a BBQ held pre meeting to ensure the members are quiet and sleepy during the meetings.
The club currently has approximately 80 full members, and three times that in followers and associates.
The club house is owned by Redcliffe and Districts Radio Club, and was purchased from the Guides in the late 1990s.
The land is leased from the Moreton Bay Regional Council, who support the club with grants and concessional rates.
The club regularly holds training courses for Foundation through to Advanced Licenses, as well as Morse Courses (held bi-annually), with one of the best training teams and facilities in the land.
