Radio Reading continues while the paper publication of the “Recorder” is in recess. Classified notices are still available through various sources online, media releases, newsletters, and other online resources are still available (including occasional articles in the online Recorder page) for us to use. The Adelaide Sunday Mail will also be read as many articles are of interest to local readers. Following Radio Reading we are broadcasting the “Vision Australia Hour” from the Community Radio Network.

There will be no Radio Reading broadcast on Sunday 19th April as the Recorder newspaper is not publishing this week (Thursday 16th April). Next publication date is Thursday 23rd April and hence our next Radio Reading broadcast will be Sunday 26th April (the day after Anzac Day) Trax FM staff

Last night we had another fundraiser for Trax FM in conjunction with the Pirie Community and Sporting Club. A big thank you to the Club and the Billy Goat Hill Band for providing the facilities and the music on the night. We had a wonderful time and caught up with many family and friends during the evening. The dance floor was busy all night and the friday night meals provided by Trevor were great. Thank you to Judy for all your work putting it together. Rhonda and Rose from Trax FM organised the raffles and Vicki answered all the questions that people may have had. Thank you also to the Savoy Soccer Club who donated prizes for our door raffle when they heard we were having a fundraiser.
