AN ACCOLADE FOR OUR SPORTING COVERAGE
David Mohr heads our sporting coverage on City Park Radio and for the last 12 years has covered the local games in the Tasmanian State League.
Sometimes the coverage has taken in some games down south and in the northwest.
As this was the final year of the TSL, there was a deal of nostalgia as Dave counted down his most memorable moments.
City Park Radio was quite chuffed to hear that David was also asked to write an article for the final TSL Footy Record.
Great work Dave !
ED: A special football broadcast of AFLW comes to City Park Radio Sunday 29th September … and it will also be streamed live via the AFL App
GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY
City Park Radio will operate the BBQ at Becks in Launceston on 26th October.
It is part of our local Becks effort to raise funds for the McGrath Foundation.
.. and while we are keen to maintain the success of our own not for profit organisaation, it was felt that we could afford some extra voluntary time to be associated with this worthwhile cause.
October is the official month for the Cancer Council’s Pink Ribbon Day!
So, spread the word, come and show your support for City Park Radio as we give back a little extra to our community.

I note that and rightly so, Accolade extended to Dave Mohr for his commitment to Local Sport, I would also extend a Accolade to the Editor of the News Letter. The time and effort that is put into the production, maybe not be appreciated by all. I thank the Editor. Also I Thank All the members of the Management Committee for the Commitment. Many members do not appreciate the effort and time that is required to attend to the Business of running an Organization .
