To all past and present Radio Hauraki staff. November 2006 will mark the 40th Anniversary of the first transmissions from the Radio Hauraki pirate radio ship Tiri and to commemorate the occasion we have organised the following events: a.. Radio Hauraki Exhibition - featuring a series of interactive audiovisual presentations from the pirate radio station - together with memorabilia and an extensive photographic display. The exhibition will be held at the Sanford Room, New Zealand National Maritime Museum, corner Quay & Hobson Streets, Auckland City and will be officially opened on Friday 10th November at 7.00pm - the opening will be broadcast 'live' on TV One during 'Close Up' that night. a.. Saturday 11th November Radio Hauraki 40th Anniversary Reunion - open to all past and present Radio Hauraki staff members and partners. See the attachment for full details. b.. Hauraki 99FM are doing a series of special broadcasts during the weekend of November 1012th featuring a number of the old 'Good Guys' from the pirate days, together with recordings of the original 60's programmes and original jingles etc. c.. www.radioheritage.net/hauraki website is being established with a permanent archive record of the 'pirate' Radio Hauraki events, including contributions from staff, audios of original programmes and photographs Your assistance is requested to advise of contact details for any Radio Hauraki staff members from both the pirate days and the land based 1480 AM / 99FM stations? If you know the whereabouts of other ex-Hauraki staff please let Chris know so that we can include them in our database. Obviously, the more people we can contact at an early stage the more successful the planned events will be - so whatever staff information and/or contact details you can provide would be appreciated. We hope you can join us in November and catch up with old friends and colleagues. David Gapes Ian Magan John Monks Chris Prouse 2nd September 2006
