After serious discussions, the Committee of the Sunraysia Radio Group Inc, has made the decision to SUSPEND all future group meetings, gatherings etc, until further notice. This decision was made after the news that most radio clubs and groups on the eastern seaboard of our country, had made this decision.

This Committee will be available at any time if anyone has information to pass on or requires information themselves.
