MEMBERSHIPS ARE NOW DUE for 2025/2026 – $55pa July-June

Volunteers are reminded it is a station requirement to be financial.

The small membership fee goes a small way to paying all the licence fees, APRA/AMCOS/PPCA fees, rates & power, and insurance policies required to maintain the operations of City Park Radio.

A reminder to all financial members, it costs no extra to volunteer at your community station.

City Park RADIO MUSEUM

To allow volunteer guides to have their annual holiday, the Radio Museum is CLOSED for July.  The office will still take bookings for tours during July.

SPONSORSHIP

Recently we farewelled a long time sponsor of City Park Radio … Community Care Tasmania has supported CPR for the last eight years and was the primary sponsor of Readings from The Examiner. CCT are currently reviewing their marketing strategies and hopefully CPR will be part of their plan in the future.

We appreciate all the support our many sponsors provide. It enables the work of our volunteers and community radio in Northern Tasmania. Please support them as they support us…. Least of all, pop into their shops and thank them personally.

A new business taking out a 12 month package on CPR is the new MyMac shop in George Street. Sam Jennings has asked to remind everyone ..As a fully Apple Authorised Service Provider and Reseller, he offers:

  • Genuine Apple products, accessories and advice
  • Trade in options and recycling facilities available for your old devices
  • Help with setup, updates, email, photos, passwords, and more
  • Accredited repairs and servicing with Apple genuine parts
  • Personalised one-on-one training to help you feel confident using your device

No call centres. No guesswork. Just real people, ready to help you get the most from your Mac, iPad, iPhone or Apple Watch—with patience and care.
Come in for a chat—we’re here when you need us.

RADIO IS FUN

You never know who might pop in for a chat.

Recently former television newsreader and bike rider Peter Gee and his offsider Adrian Smith dropped by to talk Yacht Rock.

They were promoting a special fundraising night at the Royal Oak on July 19th with their band “Baby Come Tack”.

For their northern debut, they’ve dedicated all proceeds to the Vinnies Winter Appeal.

Who knows, you might see our Fiona Brown there … singing along loudly and perhaps amazing you with her fantastic moves on the dance floor.
