Members should have now received a report on WICEN's involvement in the annual Cave Rescue exercise held at Jenolan in early November.

Your publicity officer has noticed a possibly interesting programme from ABC's Catalyst team, "Don't Panic: Surviving Extremes" on ABC1 tonight, Sunday, at 7:30pm. For late adopters of digital TV, this is logical channel 2 or 21. The bushfires aspect was filmed in nearby Hornsby Heights.

WICEN Victoria will be providing communications for the 2013 Murray Marathon. Operators will arrive at Cobram on 26 December, with the event starting the next morning at Yarrawonga, a little downstream.

Details can be found using the Events drop-down menu in WICEN Victoria's site at: www.vic.wicen.org.au/
