Thursday 5th December was National Volunteers Day!  We love our 2NURFM Volunteers who help us keep the station ticking over day after day.  They are dedicated and hard working and we couldn't do what we do without them.

At our recent Christmas Function we presented some of our Volunteers with Service Awards.  Pictured here (from L to R) is David Baus (Volunteer of the Year - Off Air), Station Manager Shane Peak and Peter Vrtkovski (Volunteer of the Year - On Air).

We also presented Giles Carney (10 Years), Ray Hugo (30 Years), Tima Oto (20 Years), David Tabrett (10 Years), Tony Vidray (10 Years) and Isabel Everett (University of Newcastle Student of the Year) with their Service Awards.  Congratulations to you all.  We'd be lost with you! 

The prize for 2NURFM's  Birthday Box for December is 2 nights midweek accommodation in a 1 bedroom spa apartment at The Landmark Resort, Nelson Bay, right in the heart of Port Stephens.      

​​You'll also receive a gorgeous Birthday cake, thanks to Designer Delights with stores at Charlestown 4920 6400, Whitebridge 4943 0771 and Valentine 4942 8592.  Call them today to design your perfect cake!
