The Macksville Branch of the CWA were set up at the studio and offered a huge range of baked goods and even a few Christmas present ideas. Valla Lions tended to a sausage sizzle to keep hungry visitors fed and Feaths Coffee Van looked after the beverage needs on the day. The completely volunteer operated community radio station has evolved over the years as a broadcaster that caters for all tastes in music and radio content and has even drawn praise from local government for its work during times of natural disaster. Some of yesterday’s visitors to the Tewinga Studios of 2NVR indicated that they may join the station to try community radio for themselves.
