Gavin ZL2TVM New Life Member of VHF Group

At the May 2010 meeting of the Group, Gavin ZL2TVM was elected as a Life Member for his outstanding and long service to the Group. This was carried with acclamation.

Gavin joined the Group around 1999 and became a contester, spending time on hill tops and setting up gear. He was very active in the Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and often had new projects to share with members. Gavin served as secretary for some time and has been Q-Bit Editor for the last ~5 years.

Gavin is a trustee of a number of our repeaters and has contributed a huge amount of time, energy and expertise on this task. Gavin has been our delegate to NZART conference, our contact in the Wellington Expo planning and attended VHF Conventions around the country.

The Committee was excited to be able to nominate Gavin for Life Membership and congratulate him on this prestigious appointment.
