An initial annual membership fee of $10 was adopted.
Further meetings at the Forster Bowling Club were arranged for the last Friday of each month except December, with an Annual General Meeting in June. A number of other conventional club rules were also approved.
During the following months, plans to establish an amateur two-metre repeater on Cabbage Tree mountain, 40 km West of Forster, were finalised and submitted to the Department of Transport and Communications via the NSW Division of the Wireless Institute of Australia, the peak amateur body.
