OK, what is happening at your next
club meeting?
One, maybe two meetings a year, a club is
stuck for a program. A speaker had to cancel at the last minute, or you
just couldn't find someone. ARVN programs are a great backup. Your club
members will be engaged, entertained, and might even learn something.
We don't mind being the backup, though after you've seen a video or
two, you might put us in regular rotation.
The documentary programs are all desgined
to be played at club meetings. We keep them to about 40 minutes (as
Jeff says, the mind can only accept what the butt can endure), and the
technical level is not too deep. Our goal is to take you places and
show you things that you're not likely to be able to get out and see
for yourself.
The seminar videos are often longer, and
more technical. But some of them, particularly the ARRL/TAPR DCC programs, are about 45
minutes long, and you can probably find one or two that your club
members will enjoy.
Finally, think about establishing a library
for your club. ARVN videos are just one part. There are plenty of other
videos, books and magazines that club members might not buy for
themselves, but would like the club to obtain for loan. That's ideal
for us - we're not trying to sell a video to every ham alive, but we
would like to sell them to most active clubs. And it's ideal for you -
a service your club can provide its members. Maybe individual members
will buy a video or book and donate it to the club library.
