Hello good people of Northrepps and beyond!
We hope you're all well and enjoying the (errr) freedom?
As mentioned, The Northrepps Lockdown is moulding itself in to Poppyland Radio, a new community radio station for the Poppyland area (and beyond!) and things are moving at good speed.
We have kindly been offered a studio space at the Belfry Centre for Music & Arts in Overstrand, we are forming a Community Interest Organisation, we have a group of trustees, we have a steering group, we have a sizeable group of volunteers, we have training ready to go, new website coming soon and a potential launch date in early November.
We have a variety of shows for you to listen to such as local history, folk, local arts, classical, funk, soul, young people's show, mid-afternoon mardle, smallholders/allotments, prog rock, comedy, storytime, council corner, exercise and wellbeing - all with a local tinge.
What's that? Where is the quiz? Of course there is the quiz!! Pencilled in for Sunday afternoons. We're looking for some regular quiz hosts. If you think you can offer up some time to present the quiz hour, please get in touch- [email protected]
We're also looking for people to host shows about local walks, gardening, pets/animals, charities, sport, food & drink.
Fingers crossed for website next month and more news about a November launch.
If you are interested in getting involved in anyway, please do get in touch - there's a lot to do!
Stay well.
