Greetings Listeners,
One of our presenters on Oamaru Heritage Radio retired last month and was promptly given a Waitaki Citizens' Award by the Mayor of the Waitaki District Council for his good works. Well done Ron Harris, the breakfast session man.
Our studio is at 6 Itchen Street in Oamaru, and anytime you are down that end of town and you see the door open, drop in. Say Hullo to the presenter on duty. Have a good look around - there's quite a bit of interesting stuff on display there.
Here's another 13 week schedule.
Biggles has concluded, and Bob Geldof's Africa will finish during this term. The book to follow Geldof is Seasons Of My Life, by Hannah Hauxwell.
Hancock is still with us at 6 pm, and I think that after the term of this schedule, I'll be able to come up with some Christmas editions of Hancock.
Good listening!
