The purpose of the meeting was to discuss ways of revitalizing the Amateur Radio Club (SVGARC), it having been inactive for some years.
A quorum of members along with those newly joining the organisation voted to create a three member steering committee to look at the following agenda items:

- To update the existing clubâs constitution for 21st century relevance.
- To examine the implementation of a club website. The website is intended to facilitate all amateur radio operators worldwide, with information on SVGARC club activities. The club email address is J88ARC@hotmail.com.
The committee members are Kumar Persaud J88CF, Geoffrey Hadaway J88NFU and Lennox Lampkin. Substantive club president is Douglas De Freitas J88BD, and Treasurer/Secretary Robert Young J85I.
