Local assets such as the community radio station or (cough, cough) the local newspapers are assets which need ongoing patronage and support.

So in that spirit, keep an eye out for Station Manager Matt Christie, holding various activities over the next month.

The station is bringing their "Outside Live" broadcasts to various locations throughout August and September.

The station's mobile broadcasting initiative will see the 2HAY FM team setting up at different venues, offering listeners the chance to meet their favourite radio personalities whilst enjoying a range of activities and entertainment.

The roadshow kicks off on Tuesday, August 19 at Betta in Lachlan Street, Hay, from 10am to 2pm.

The team will be hosting a pancake fundraiser alongside their usual offerings of colouring competitions, program guides, song requests, raffles, and membership drives.

A week later, on Wednesday, August 27, the crew will relocate to IGA on Lachlan Street for another live broadcast running from 9am to 2pm.

This event will feature similar activities but will swap the pancake fundraiser for a raffle and membership drive.

September promises even more excitement, beginning with a major event on Sunday, September 7 at Foodworks in Lachlan Street.

Running from 8am to 1pm, this broadcast will feature the station's signature activities plus bacon and egg rolls to fuel the morning crowd.

The month's highlight comes on Saturday, September 13 at the Hay Showgrounds from 9am to 4pm.

The final event of the series takes place on Tuesday, 30th September at DGH on Leonard Street, Hay. Running from 10am to 2pm, this broadcast will feature a sausage sizzle alongside the usual activities.

Each "Outside Live" event will include the station's standard community engagement activities: colouring competitions for the kids, program guides for new listeners, opportunities to make song requests, raffles with local prizes, and membership drives to support the station's operations.

Listeners are encouraged to come along, meet the team, and experience the energy of live radio broadcasting in action. With events spanning different days of the week and various times, there should be opportunities for most community members to join in the fun.
