Michael Golikov Wins the 2009 Ricky
Michael Golikov was made the 2009 recipient of the Ricky Award at the Annual General Meeting of the station on 28 October. The 'Ricky' is named in honour of Ricky Stevenson, a long time treasurer of the station who died, much too early, a few years ago. His widow initiated the award in honour of Ricky, to be given annually to recognise long term contribution to the station and excellence in broadcasting.
Michael Golikov will be well known to listeners over a long period, most specifically for his energetic and descriptive football calls.

Studio 2 reno moves along
The renovation of studio 2 to be a combined green room and recording studio is moving along. Some time ago, the wall between the old tiny green room and studio 2 was removed, making one bigger room. In the last couple of weeks, new carpet tiles have been laid, and furniture has been moved in, making it much more comfortable for guests waiting for their interview time, or our hosts waiting for their show time to come around.
Here are a couple of pictures of Big John Little trying out the new furniture for size.
Even a couch!
The room looked a mess for a while. It may not happen in a jiffy because we're an all-volunteer organisation but it's looking pretty spiffy now! Here's how it looked when the hammers were flying and the saws were buzzing ...

Bushfire Fundraiser
It was a big day, and a huge effort on the part of a lot of people. The devastating bushfires in Victoria generated an enormous amount of community feeling. In the Hawkesbury, lots of community groups, including Hawkesbury Radio, joined in the effort to provide relief for the victims with a fundraiser, held in Macquarie Park on the banks of the Hawkesbury River.
Steve Wilkins does a live cross to air during the concert.

Louise Markus MP on Air with Brian
Each month, Louise Markus, Federal MP for Greenway joins Brian Edmonds for a chat about what's been happening over the past month. It's part of our station's commitment to keeping listeners in touch with their community.
Louise says, "Hawkesbury FM radio is a fantastic local station with a great mix of music and some good local characters.
"I would strongly encourage residents of Greenway to tune in to their local community station where you will be kept up to date with what is going on locally as well as nationally. It is well worth a listen."
Well said, Louise Markus!
Studio 2 renovation progress
Deciding to embark on any renovation can be a very exciting prospect. Additional space, introducing classical feng shui, altering the architectural features of a room, and having a whole new floor plan opens up all sorts of possibilities.
Renovation to the Green Room ( Studio 2 ) kicked off Saturday (November 3).
Follow progress and see what's happening to our tiny little brick building with an aerial on the top.
