2025 RBM Volunteer of the Year, Murray Reid
On Sunday 22 September Murray Reid, presenter of The Blackheath Show on Thursday mornings, was presented with an award for his tireless dedication to the station.
Murray epitomises the true spirit of the word ‘community’, and is dedicated not only to our radio station but to BANC in Blackheath and many other community activities, all for the benefit of others.
Murray has featured in every local publication you can think of, he has posed to be painted by many local artists, been hung in galleries, praised by all who’s lives he has touched and never fails to give our station a plug wherever he may be.
Thank you to Murray for all your hard work, performed as always, in shorts and crocs.
