Vallei FM, \u2019n plaaslike gemeenskapsradiostasie in Worcester, vier vanjaar sy 21ste bestaansjaar.<\/p>\n
Hierdie mylpaal in die stasie se bestaan gaan gevier word met onder meer \u2019n hersfbal m\u00f4re-aand (Vrydag 12 April) en \u2019n groot gala-aand in November. <\/p>\n
Die geld wat ingesamel word, gaan aangewend word om twee omskakelaars (inverters<\/span>) vir die radiostasie aan te skaf. <\/p>\n Catherine Wiese, wat op 1 Maart vanjaar as stasiebestuurder by Vallei FM aangestel is, s\u00ea die afgelope 21 jaar was nie altyd die maklikste nie. <\/p>\n \u201cOns het maar ons ups and downs<\/i> gehad. Ons het \u2019n klomp aanbieders gehad. Oor die jare het hulle al hoe minder geword. <\/p>\n \u201cKyk, ons kon hulle nooit \u2019n salaris aanbied nie. Ons het wel vir hulle toelaes en vervoergeld gegee.<\/p>\n \u201cEk onthou \u2013 ons het met meer as 100 vrywilligers begin. Tans is ons 15 vrywilligers wat verskeie programme by Vallei FM aanbied.\u201d <\/p>\n Wiese s\u00ea veral nou oor die afgelope twee jaar het Vallei FM groot finansi\u00eble uitdagings gehad met een van die groot advertensieagentskappe wat bankrot geraak het.<\/p>\n Volgens haar het die advertensieagentskap die stasie nog \u2019n hele paar rand geskuld. Sy s\u00ea toe die maatskappy bankrot raak, het die stasie se omskakelaars die gees gegee as gevolg van die druk van beurtkrag.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, wat toe gebeur is, as ons beurtkrag in Worcester ervaar, is Vallei FM heeltemal van die lug af en kan ons luisteraars in ons ander opvangsgebiede ons nie opvang nie. <\/p>\n \u201cAs daar beurtkrag in Rawsonville is, maar Worcester is aan, kan die luisteraars ons steeds nie hoor nie, want ons hoofsender is daar en dan is die krag by die hoofsender boonop ook af.\u201d <\/p>\n Volgens Wiese benodig die stasie twee omskakelaars \u2013 een vir Worcester, sodat dit die ateljees aan die gang kan hou, en een by die hoofsender, sodat dit die stasie aan daardie kant op die lug kan hou.\u201d <\/p>\n Sy s\u00ea die goedkoopste omskakelaar kos sowat R30 000. Volgens haar is die waarborg nie so lank nie. <\/p>\n \u201cOns kyk byvoorbeeld nou na \u2019n 5 kW-omskakelaar waarvan die prys tussen R79 000 en R115 000 is. Ons benodig twee van hulle. <\/p>\n \u201cDie voordeel van hierdie 5 kW is dat hy ook deur sonpanele ondersteun kan word. Hy kom uit met twee sonpanele. So, dit maak nie saak wat gebeur nie, die sonpanele sal hom ook aan die gang hou.\u201d <\/p>\n Volgens Wiese probeer die stasie om elke Saterdag worsrolletjies te verkoop sodat luisteraars die stasie finansieel kan ondersteun. <\/p>\n Sy s\u00ea Vallei FM is dankbaar vir die ondersteuning. <\/p>\n M\u00f4re-aand (12 April) se hersbal, wat die \u201cAutumn Ball\u201d genoem word, begin om agtuur en word in die Worcester-stadsaal gehou. Die New Strings Dance Band gaan daar optree.<\/p>\n Mense wat die bal gaan bywoon, moet hul eie kosmandjie saambring. Kaartjies kos R120 per persoon. <\/p>\n Op 2 November \u2013 die dag voor Vallei FM se verjaardag \u2013 word \u2019n groot gala-aand in die Somerset-skoolsaal in Worcester gehou. <\/p>\n Wiese s\u00ea by di\u00e9 formele rooitapyt-geleentheid gaan onder meer die omroeper van die jaar aangewys word. Sy s\u00ea diegene wat die afgelope 21 jaar \u2019n verskil by Vallei FM gemaak het en diegene wat in die stasie se krisistye \u2019n helpende hand uitgesteek het, gaan ook vereer word. Kaartjies kos R350 per persoon en sluit \u2019n driegang-maaltyd in. <\/p>\n Kaartjies vir die herfsbal- en gala-aand is te koop by Vallei FM se kantoor in Greystraat. Kaartjies is ook op die aand van die twee geleenthede by die deur beskikbaar. <\/p>\n Wiese s\u00ea \u2019n datum vir die dankseggingsdiens wat in Oktober in die VGK Sentraal in Adderleystraat gehou word, sal later bekend gemaak word. <\/p>\n Vir navrae kan die stasie by 023 347 7096 gebel word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vallei FM, \u2019n plaaslike gemeenskapsradiostasie
