Station News - November 2008

Training Nights
Mathew Wall our station manager continues to conduct training sessions on Tuesday evenings from 5.00pm to 6.30pm
Contact Mat to confirm arrangements

DDN Computer Update
New software has been ordered to repair the computer this shouldn't be far away.

Grant Update
The station has put in for a few grants recently for some resources. We have applied for a Production & Training Panel to make things identical to the on-air system we run. This will help trainees familiarise themselves before stepping on air. We have also applied for a BBQ, Trailer and Marquee for fundraisers. A similar type of thing to what was used when we did the Bunnings BBQ Fundraiser a few months ago. This will save our volunteers having to bring their equipment & also allow us to have functions at the station.

The board has a Grants Committee setup, & if you know of any grants that the station may be able to apply for please let Nate, Perri or Mat know so we can have a go at them.

Subscriber Update
The Subscriber committee has already secured 4 discounts for the launch of the subscriber card. They have approached about 25 businesses to date, so a good response so far. If people know of any businesses that may wish to give a discount to our subscribers, please let Janet Finnis-Hare or Shannon Speck know so they can be contacted appropriately. The card will hopefully be launched in January and generate a good money earner for 5GTR.

Subscriber Update.
We now have 10 Businesses who have committed to the Scheme. I feel confident that after I have finished approaching everyone we will have well in excess of over 20Businesses offering discounts for the Scheme. This will make the purchase of the card well worthwhile for everyone.

Yet another update!!

12 Businesses have signed on the dotted line. The cards have been ordered from the printer. It's finally happening people! Let's hope we stay on time for a January 2009 Launch!
