Notes for meeting-25th June

Posted by Adrian on June 25, 2008 – 3:49 pm

All goes well for our summer programme at ELFM. For all up-and-coming dates check out the Details of Next Broadcast link on the home page.

First of all - big thanks to all the team for turning out for the first gala at Osmondthorpe and Halton Moor last Saturday. Good job. More galas coming up on the 5th and 12th July - please sign up if you haven’t already. And of course you’ll get one of the much-sought-after Summer Starts Here tour t-shirts.

All the excitement is over the caravan at the moment, but don’t forget we’re taking temporary ownership of our new base in Boggart Hill. We should be getting the keys tomorrow (fingers crossed) and gradually moving in next week - ready for our first Unity internet broadcast from our new base on Sunday 6th July. Ed will be arranging the schedule - but we see it as an opportunity for an early practice for our summer broadcast teams.

Our next meeting will be there too - on Wednesday 9th July. On Sunday 13th our posh new studio gets delivered and installed and we’re straight into training week before the big broadcast. That should give our teams plenty of time to arrange to practice in the new space. We will switch on to the internet over the weekend of the 19th July for final as-live practices and then we are on air on 87.7FM (and the internet) from Monday 21st July to Friday August 1st.

The schedule is still developing - but looks something like this:

Weekdays:
7-9 Breakfast show
9-10 Morning talk show
10-12 The caravan of love
12-1 Lunch hour
1-2 Young people’s show
2-3 Pre-recorded break
3-5 Drive Time
5-6 Your community (inc Eastern Promise)
6-8 Evening music including live slot
8-10 Nigel Zone

Weekend: ?

Big job now is to get working on developing all the schedule - everyone needs to fill in the Production Team sheets.  And the other job is to start getting the publicity out - leaflets and  bookmarks look great - where can you take them and leave a pile? What groups do you know who would be interested?

And don’t forget the final job of the summer (and what a task it will be!!) Up off to the Moor Music Festival  6-8 August (with the caravan of course).

Please use the website to try things out, throw out ideas, give each other feedback - stay in touch!
