This week, hundreds of gold ribbons are going out to Moranbah East State School and Moranbah State School as part of the annual Moranbah Miner's Memorial art display.
We are asking each child to write on their ribbon, be it their name, a drawing, a short message to our coal mine workers, or a short message to the families of the miners we have lost, letting them know that we will forever hold their loved ones safe in our hearts.
We have sent instructions and some info on what the Miners Memorial is all about, along with the ribbons, but we also ask that parents or carers also have a chat with your kids, letting them know the importance of the event, and what coal mining means to Moranbah, noting that not every family is directly involved in the industry.
We look forward to seeing the display come together for the service next Friday, and thank you for your help in creating it!

4RFM have registered with Moranbah Mechanical and Towing's Locals supporting Locals campaign. This is a fabulous campaign which results in real cash donations back to your local community groups. All you need to do is nominate the registered community group when you book in your vehicle or go to pay your invoice. FIVE percent of the amount is then passed on as a donation. (private invoices) How good is that!

The campaign is running until the end of the year - so if your community group hasn't registered - it's not too late.

And if you would like to support 4RFM when having work done on your vehicle - don't forget to let the MMT team know.

Thanks MMT!

Feeling a tad suspicious that Crowded House were lying about the 4 seasons in one day thing? So far Melbourne has proved to be sunny and warm!!
Tania and I are in Geelong attending the Community Broadcasting Association Australia Conference, meeting new radio people, sharing strategies and struggles!
So far, so good, let’s see what knowledge we can bring home to the ‘Bah!

Spoilt for choice again this weekend folk! Plus we have rain, so you could always ditch everything and cuddle up with a book, your choice!
For those headed out, we have the Friday night raffles at the Moranbah Community Workers Club, and the Binda Park parkrun (bring your rain coat) 7am sharp Saturday morning! Our mates out at the Moranbah Motorcycle Riders Club Runs And Rides have their annual Poker Run (stands up 9am) Saturday, where they'll take in some sights around our beautiful region (and CQ) before heading back to their clubhouse for the afterparty! Meanwhile the Moranbah Christian Fellowship will be celebrating 50 years with a Back to the 70's Fete! For those looking to improve their swing, or who just love pink, the Pink Out 4 Cancer Inc crew are hosting their 3rd annual Pink Out 4 Cancer Golf Day! And Saturday evening, if your not a Moranbah Miners Junior Rugby League kid, who will be celebrating your end of season presentations at the High School, then you should try your luck with a meat tray at the Moranbah Miners Rugby League Club! Sunday you can chill out (hopefully it's still raining) then Monday don't forget to stop in at the Elam Moranbah Youth Cafe after school, or if your one of the legendary seniors in our community, be sure to hit the Seniors Month Lunch at the Workies!
Phew!
And I think that's it!
