Each year the awards dinner is held to recognise the contributions made to the not-for-profit association by the more than 50 volunteers that keep the station on air through their work as on-air presenters, skilled technicians, committee members, and those who man the outside broadcast vehicle at local events in and around the Nambucca Valley.
The special guests who attended and presented the awards this year were The Hon Melinda Pavey, Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight; Nambucca Shire Council Mayor, Rhonda Hoban; and Nambucca Shire Council Deputy Mayor, John Wilson.
