Board Members

John Stewart

John Stewart will only admit to having a bite worse than his bark.

Dan Leddin

Currently Dan is the Vice President of the Goldfields FM Board of Management. As a recently retired school principal he brings considerable management skills to the Board and to Goldfields FM. He has managed high-functioning teams for many years. He also has strong links to the Central Goldfields community.

Having built his first computer many years ago, and been responsible for building computer networks in schools, he also brings considerable information technology expertise to the operations of Goldfields FM.

Jan Tribe

Jan looks after the organisational paperwork. She also presents a number of programs. Without such good support, enterprises such as Goldfields FM could not exist.

Bob Osborne

Bob Osborne has been resident in Maryborough for 47 years and is a "community service freak".

He joined the Board in 2003 when the future was not promising. He took over as Chairman and, along with Bruce Leech, conducted a concerted campaign to enable Maryborough to gain a broadcasting licence for a community radio station. This culminated in the granting of our Temporary Community Broadcasting Licence in January 2007.

Bob currently presents a sports breakfast program on Saturday morning.

Allen May

Allen has been involved with community radio stations for a number of years. He is a regular presenter of music aimed at the tastes of the more mature community.

Allen has been collecting old records for the last 30 years and has had extensive involvement in radio. He is very knowledgeable on the music that he presents and loves to provide his listeners with all sorts of background information. The first program of Anything Goes started in 1985 and ran for 14 years and recommenced on 2 April 2004. Allen plays music from his original 78 RPM record collection and encompasses the period from 1897 Berlinas to 1960 (when the 78 RPM disc era ended in Australia).

Bruce Leech

Bruce has been involved with Goldfields FM for a number of years. His work ranges from remodelling the building so that it would suit the station to designing and installing the electronic equipment which ranges from the presenters' microphones to the transmitter at the top of the tower.

Greg Waters

Greg has been involved with music all his life. He learned to sing when he joined the Maryborough Boys' Choir back in 1937. He has been involved in dance bands and entertaining for thirty years, starting as a fill-in drummer with the Max Finch Band in 1948, then he joined the Gold Star Dance Band as the singer / compere.

With his love of country music he then formed a country music dance band called Country Sound. They played at dances and festivals until sickness stopped him in his tracks. He still entertains and plays at rest homes and hospitals as well as club nights and hotels. He raises funds for Goldfields FM with Rita Mullins and Leo Harnetty.

He joined Goldfields FM in January 2007 on its opening day and became a presenter on Goldfields FM. Greg presents two hours of country music four days a week and he will play any country requests.

Scott Zampatti

Scott started in community radio in Wagga Wagga in 1999 at Life FM where he hosted a number of different programs like the 80s music mix and the Top 20 Countdown. His involvement with Life FM lasted one year.

Scott's current involvement in community radio is at Goldfields FM in Maryborough, which started broadcasting in February 2007. He started by hosting two shows: Friday Night Gold and Saturday Extra. In September 2007 his work commitments forced him to abandon one show.

He is currently hosting one show, Saturday Extra, which airs from 4 pm - 6 pm on Saturday afternoons.
