Greetings -Kia ora,
My tenure at the Radio Station is still uncertain. I am in the throes of sellng my property and moving to a smaller place somewhere, but one can't sell a property until one has a buyer (or 2 or more).
So I've worked out the schedule for the next 13 weeks anyway, and I hope that regardless of property sales, I'll be able to keep to the schedule.
New Year's Eve: Over the past 5 or so years I have done a dance and merry-making session on New Year's Eve, We have a staff meeting next Tuesday, and I'll try to encourage one of the other presenters to take on this job. I like doing it, but I don't want to give the appearance of comandeering that slot.
More book readings are coming up, I now have heaps of audio books to read out chapter by chapter. When I first started a book reading at 9 pm, I didn't thing I could keep going for a year, let alone 10 years.

Greetings to all.
This is not a scheduled posting, it is to put right a major mistake by me in counting up the number of episodes of "The Thief Lord", out Tuesday 5.30pm presentation.
I calculated there would be 12 episodes of about 20 minutes duration.
It is on 6 cassette tapes. Each tape has a Side A and Side B. Each side runs for just uder 45 minutes. So the planned 12 weeks to hear it through, should correctly be 24 weeks. Therefore playing about 22 minutes per night once a week means it will take 6 months to play right through.
AND (here's advance notice) my tenure at the Radio Station will probably finish before the end of the year.
Therefore: to solve the problem, I propose to play each side in full.
If we stick with a 5.30 start, this means overrunning into the 6pm and then the 6.30 programmes.
So I will start each episode of The Thief Lord at 5.15pm and run through the full 45 minutes of the cassette.
To summarise:-
The segment on my programme "For Younger Ears" will henceforth commence at 5.15pm each Tuesday.

Greetings Listeners,
Here is the spring update of what's going to be heard on Trevor's Tuesday Variety Time. (That title actually, comes from the past days of radio. The father of a mate of mine, Stephen Chadwick, did I think it was a twice weekly 15 minute radio programme reviewing the latest records available at Columbus Radio Centres. These shops had the sole rights to sell Capitol, Tanza and RCA records. His show was called 'Chad's Variety Time' and he was 'Chad, your Variety Time compere'.)
Two new books are started, The Thief Lord is a story in 12 parts for younger ears, and after We of The Never Never finishes the 9 pm book readings will be from Wake the Dead, by Dorothy Simpson.
I have had some quite positive feedback about the archives of the Silver Fern Tape Recording Club. These tapes are, in the main, varied and interesting. There are many tapes in the archives of music, much of this music is similar to my normal programme material. But an hour long tape of nothing but theatre organ music - no, I don't think I'll be playing too much of these sorts of programmes. Maybe in short bursts.
So as you read the details below, bear in mind that each Tuesday at 6.30 is a programme from the archives of radio; and between 8 and 9 is an item from the Silver Fern Tape Recording Club archives. These Club tapes are made by members, for members, and the quality is not always the best.
And, don't forget, you can pick our radio station up anywhere in the world by logging on to www.ohr.nz
Happy Listening,
Trevor

Greetings,
The blending of articles of historic and heritage interest in with music over the 6 hours of the weekly Tuesday Variety Time means that there is less music now than previously. However, other presenters at the radio station continue to play music with 'heritage' values. I too will endevour to keep good music as a major part of the programme, even if it is now just filling in between the other items.
I have recently acquired a 100 disc library of music that made it to the Jazz Music Charts from about 1935 to about 1955, and I hope to be able to include plenty of this on Tuesdays.
Through this time, A Newsletter from the Hampden School will be read just before the 5.30 item, ISIRTA means 'I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again", a BBC comedy show of the 70s, an item from Radio's archives will be at 6.30, and after the Concert Piece will be an item from the archives of the Silver Fern Tape Recording Club.

Welcome to the first posting of 2017.
Two events have occurred that will impact on my Tuesday variety time show.
One is that I have recently acquired the library of the Silver Fern Tape Recording Club.
This Club was run single-handedly for 28 years by Mrs Phyllis Moore of Rotorua (now of Tokoroa).
The members would submit to Phyll items of interest, and she would put the shorter items together in a 'magazine' format and circulate about 8 copies around the 100 or so members world-wide. The longer items were despatched on cassettes (again about 8 copies) of their own. Members would use the reverse side of the cassette to enter comments about what they'd heard. When these tapes got back to Phyll after about 6 months, she would dub the comments on to another cassette, and send this to the member who had compiled the tape.
I now have in my possession about 400 reel to reel tapes (the forerunner of the cassette), and about 900 cassette tapes. There's quite a bit of interesting stuff there. I hope to be introducing at least one item each night.
The second event to happen is that picking up Oamaru Heritage Radio on the internet has been greatly simplified. Just type in the simple address and hear us from there. It is www.ohr.nz
Here's the line-up for the next 13 weeks. Note that on June 6th, I think every other radio station similar to ours will be remembering the Normandy "D Day" landings. I've chosen to remember The Battle Of The Midway" that day instead. The date is the same -just 3 years earlier. An hour-long dramatisation of the Battle will be at 6.30pm.
