Women Out Front

Last night on "A Mixed Bag with Chris B" on 93.7 Edge FM in the Bega Valley, our theme was "Women Out Front".  We heard songs from dynamic female singers who may have been, or are front and centre of a band, or have or have had an amazing solo career.  Most of our singers were from the 80's with big hair and big voices!
We also heard an interview with Tracy Hughes from First Aid for Motorcyclists, who told us about Accident Scene Management Training for Riders to be held this Saturday 21st March 2015 at Club Bega.  So if you're a motorbike riding woman, this training session is for you!!

Here is a link to the website, and below that, a link to our interview with Tracy Hughes.
