    The annual Seafood Lovers luncheon took place today, May18, right on schedule. This seminal event, which takes place on the third Thursday in May, brings together members of NEQRP for a unofficial “kick-off” of the summer season. Attending members enjoyed a sumptuous seafood meal and some lively conversation coupled with a lot of laughs to lighten up the day.

    It’s finally here, … warm Summer weather. Spring has been with us for weeks now and our annual (April) meeting at League Headquarters has come and gone.

    It’s held every year on the same day as the talks/lectures in Fairborn Ohio.

    Join us for this Springtime Tradition at: Brown’s Lobster Pound in Seabrook New Hampshire at 11AM till then last person drops. (Usually around 2PM.)

    > > *** Information about this event: Many New Englanders just can’t get the time to travel all the way to Dayton Ohio for the ‘Dayton Hamfest’. This Seafood-Lovers Spring-Fling lunch was purposely organized on the same day as the talks at FDIM so that we could all get together and actually watch the real-time video streaming of the happenings, at the only day of talks, in Fairborn Ohio. Their talks are all of a low-power nature, and are targeted toward the QRP’er in our hobby. This event allows us (New Englanders) to participate vicariously at the talks without actually traveling to them. It’s a great outing and some wonderful seafood! Please consider joining us on this, or, another (in future years) Annual Seafood Lovers Spring Fling Lunch always held on the same day (Thursday) as the talks at Four Days In May! C U ! . .
