B. jamboree and barbecue is included in the Nary from Dungloe festival programme. I am sure it will be a great success \..ri th l ocals and vis itors alike . Speak ing of visitors I think we should all make a soecial effort to be nice and helpful to the many~ vis iting buddies passing through the Local '20', as for many of them t heir first impres sion of the place will depend on how they are received on the citizen band. On travelline around the county we could not help noticing that' breaking on 11 is far more organised . in our o~m 1 20' t han in any other. Bucket-mouthing is practically non-existent here and most breakers ' clear the breaking channel as quickly as possible. An interesting idea down the country which you may have read about in the C.B. ,magazine is to have local news one night a week. A channel could be set aside for breakers to give news items from their own areas and 2 handles should be given to ensure authenticity. Club members could take it in turn to r ead the news, or perhaps the Cod may have some suggestions? Hot gossip fro~ around the 20 S.0.3. for the Glen Rover, where is he? Since his departure from the 20 we haven't heard much from the Teddy Bear or Freddie Flintstone either, is that a big 4? ••• even Travelwel l is keeping a low profile of late ••• would any seatcover in the Iceland 20 know anythi ng about this? Good luck to the High Roller for providing chickenboxes to many good buddies in the local 20 at very reasonable stamps. b All the 73 1 s to you and yours. • c "The Big Ears". VIORDS ,t R.a.n.c.l'f'
