01.01.2022 A must see exhibition...

01.01.2022 The Board of Gippsland FM provided a BBQ for its dedicated volunteers who have continued to support the radio station through difficult times these last 12 months. Great catch-up BBQ last Saturday, March 20th. After many months of us unable to hold any sort of group event It was wonderful to see so many attend. Let's hope it's the first of many events to come. It's also been the 1st opportunity since the AGM that we've been able to award Bev Loraine with her Life Membership certificate.

01.01.2022 Today for Breakfast, Bryce has Harry joining him. Bryce is technically Gippsland FMs oldest youth presenter, and Harry is our youngest youth presenter. So we t...hink the partnership is pretty great! If you are listening, give them a call on 5134 8444 and let them know what a great job they are doing! #GippslandFM #CommunityRadio #ConnectingOurCommunity #Youth
