Volunteer News 4 - 2013
 |
| Thank you Big Al Watts |
It's business as usual and PBS has been powering along thanks to all the fantastic volunteers who've helped out in the last fortnight. Since last I wrote, we filled the Music Department roles, but we've still got some Rock A Bye Baby roles. This week there'll be a grid change, Matt Frederick and Miss Goldie swap timeslots, Glen Morrow returns to PBS with A Dogs Breakfast, and this will be a split shift, shared with Fanta Pants & Janelle who present a new show called Get Up Morning starts Sunday. But, change is not without loss. One of PBS' longer serving announcers finished his show last Sunday. Al Watts, presenter of the Sunday morning program Rhythm Round Up finished his 21 year stint at PBS. Congratulations to Al for being such an outstanding contributor to PBS. Would you like to contribute to the station? Read on!

Magazine ideas
Richie 1250 our magazine
editor has officially put the call out for ideas for the next Easey magazine: Whether
it's something you might like to write or an idea you think someone else could
write, let us know!
GUIDELINES: It should be music / music community related.
(Take a look at some previous issues to get an idea of the kind of thing we
generally run). The final article will be either 600, 1200, or 1800 words

Print Policies and Procedures
It is
important for all volunteers and staff to be familiar with this. See the
policies and procedures here andhttp://pbs.org.au/policy. The Policies and Procedures Handbook
ensures that PBS remains in safe compliance with the Codes of Practice and
other relevant legislation. It also positions PBS volunteers, announcers and
staff to operate with a shared, clear understanding of how things work at PBS.
Please read it carefully. And if you’re inspired, why not consider becoming
a PBS
shareholder?
