CITY PARK RADIO SPORTS TROPHY PRESENTED
The 2025 City Park Radio Sports NTFA Premier Player of the Year was presented to Jake Hinds of the Launceston Football Club.
City Park Radio has covered the NTFA Premier Division all season .. with our commentators deciding their 3-2-1’s at each broadcast game…. whether it was in the city, or from Deloraine, Longford or Scottsdale. It’s been a big year!
On behalf of City Park Radio Sports, Matthew McGee presented the trophy to Jake during the half time beak in the Womens’ Grand Final at UTAS stadium.
Our commentary both on City Park Radio and the AFLTas YouTube stream has been widely acknowledged as being up there with the best.
We thank our major sports sponsor-Raoul Cooley at ELGAS Tasmania. Raoul has supported our sport for many years and we look forward to 2026.
We also thank Bru Coffee Hut and Buckby Motors for sponsoring our sports broadcasts. We also acknowledge AFLTas for their funding support of City Park Radio this season to bring local sport to the radio. Dave Mohr and the team have one more game to cover- its AFLW, North Melbourne v Sydney Sat 4th Oct 3pm.

A NEW BROOM – PLENTY OF ROLES TO PLAY
By now you will be aware of some changes to the Management Committee and we are still looking for more volunteers in a number of areas.
One important role is the Editor of this, your monthly newsletter. That doesn’t mean you have to write all the articles. Perhaps write the odd one, but co-ordinate other people’s work and nudge others to write something. You may also be interested in undertaking the layout of the newsletter, again not a difficult task for just two A4 pages.
Another area open for new or old faces is the Programming Sub Committee where you would be involved in all aspects of new programs going to air, maintaining the standards and direction of CPR. Assist presenters in developing their program ideas, finding an appropriate time slot, additional presenters and general support.
General Administration volunteers are needed and I don’t just mean in the office, although Elizabeth does require a couple more there. Some admin functions are being moved from the office for a quicker pathway forward.
You can contact me as the first point of contact to answer any questions, or even better, for you to volunteer.
My number is 0428 955008. John Elcomb—President

CONGRATULATIONS … Ayu has a new pet that only needs the occasional dusting…. picture coming in next newsletter
Goodbye to Sausages
One of the first changes to be made by your new management committee has been to forfeit the next three scheduled BBQ’s at Bunnings.
The management committee could not find enough volunteers to continue this station’s major fundraiser and decided to relinquish the dates for the rest of the year
After monies received from CBF grants, these BBQ’s were the second highest source of funds for your station.
Your management committee decided that the level of sponsorship on the station was adequate to forego this fundraiser and rely on sponsorship.
