BROADCASTING TO THE WORLD www.innerfm.org.au

R obert Williams our dear presenter of Sen�mental Favourites each

Sunday at 3.00pm has been driving his motor scooter for several

years. Robert travels to the studios by taxi and can get into the

shopping centre with his trusty scooter. Robert had no way of ge�ng the

scooter into his home to charge the ba�ery and would have to travel down

to his shed in the backyard to charge it up. He then had to drive across the

grass to get out to the front of his house. Robert did not men"on this to

anyone at the studio but his neighbours became aware of his problem and

decided to take ac"on. Within three days they built a ramp at the back of

Robert’s home so he could drive the scooter up to his veranda door and

charge the ba�ery inside the house and then drive out again. The photos

show the excellent work done by Joe Grillo and Robert Wilson. What a

wonderful gesture from two caring neighbours.

The Milk of Human Kindness

2015 marks our 25th year of broadcas�ng

W elcome to our spring issue.

Our thoughts go back twenty five years

ago when 96.5FM began official

transmission on Dec 8th 1990. A=er years of test

transmissions we were granted our official

broadcas"ng licence.

We established our original studios at Warringal

Shopping Centre with a bunch of enthusias"c

presenters, members and listeners. Now is the "me

to celebrate our first twenty five years of opera"on.

Our concert on November 28th at the Banyule

Theatre will be a wonderful event and we are

looking forward to seeing not only our current team

but those who have been a part of our history.

Hope to see you there – bookings are now open.

Scoring in the Rain

Our Own Cen Fox Our own Cenarth Fox, publisher of the 96.5FM News, has

just published his first novel. Cen has been an

interna"onal playwright for many years.

The "tle of the new book is A Plum Job and it’s about a

young Englishwoman who wants to be an actress against

a backdrop of the Second World War.

War brings change. People tell lies. Rules are broken. So

when you’re in a foreign country and living by your wits

while facing arrest, torture and death from the French

police, Resistance, Gestapo and a double-agent, you

bloody well be&er remember your lines, act out of your

skin and never ever bump into the furniture. Mind you it

helps if your new best friend is Edith Piaf.

This sounds just a fascina"ng book. You can get your copy

of A Plum Job from bookshops, Cen himself or through

Amazon. Congratula"ons Cen – we are all proud of you.

It is hard to believe that it will be 100

years since the birth of Frank Sinatra on

the 12th of December 1915. Even

though it is almost 20 years since he

passed away Sinatra can s"ll be heard

regularly on 96.5FM. The Interna�onal

Sinatra Society will mark the occasion

with a dinner on Saturday December

12th at the Box Hill RSL. Enquiries

Our best wishes are with our life

member Bruce Mansfield who has been

unwell recently.

Warringal Shopping Centre our home

for 25 years and we are very

apprecia"ve of the support we have

received.

It is possible to print a complete

programme guide to all the

programmes on 96.5FM from our web-

site at www.innerfm.org.au

We need to get those photos from the

early days of 96.5FM for our video

presenta"on at our concert. Place your

photos in a clearly marked envelope and

get them to Tim Rivers ASAP. The

photos and videos will be returned to

you.

We have received wonderful publicity

through The Melbourne Observer and

The Heidelberg Leader over the years

and we thank them for their support.

I was listening to another community

radio sta"on and noted that the

presenter never men"oned their name

or the sta"on.

Sadly one of our former presenters John

Darbyshire passed away recently. John’s

Mix of Music on a Tuesday at lunch"me

was a popular programme for many

years on 96.5FM. Our sympathy is

extended to the Darbyshire family.

Don’t forget to renew your membership

this year – we need you.

The next mee"ng of The Jolson Society

of Australia will be on Tuesday 24th

November at 7.30pm at The

Collingwood Community Mee"ng Room,

11 Stanton Street, Abbotsford, featuring

a salute to Sinatra and his associa"on

with Al Jolson.

Please support our valued sponsors as

they support us. Make sure you tell

them you heard their message on

lots of surprises. Bookings are now open

Ivanhoe RSL, 3-5 Studley Road, Ivanhoe at

Listener feedback on football broadcasts

[I have much enjoyed the football

review on Saturday mornings during 2015.

I par"cularly wish to congratulate Inner

FM on your broadcast of the Woodrow

medal earlier this week. It was excellent.

I live in the Bayside area and sadly struggle

to tune into Inner FM on radio, thus all my

listening must be done online and I have

tuned in from many loca"ons overseas,

such as Amman Jordan, Lookout Mountain

Tennessee, Pitzo in Calabria Italy,

Samos in the eastern Aegean Sea, and ST

Petersburg Russia.

Your able commentary team have the

ability to influence VAFA policy, i.e. playing

at Ikon Park v the history of Elsternwick,

decrepit as the facili"es are. Thanks for all

the enjoyment. It was a great game

Yesterday.

Regards,

Michael Kelly
