Chairman Alastair Dinwiddie spoke of his delight at welcoming 46 members of Radio Teesdale who attend the AGM last Tuesday (26/1//9). He applauded everyone for their efforts and thanked the membership for a very successful year. In the Chairman’s report Alastair spoke about another significant year for Radio Teesdale which included the first full year of full time broadcasting at Radio Teesdale, completing the transmitter for the upper dale area, working with numerous community groups and individuals, establishing and maintaining a broad professional programme schedule with volunteers creating their own programmes and providing experience for volunteers and students and skills transfer through mentoring and training which benefits the community and individuals beyond the activities of Radio Teesdale. Other highlights mentioned included the vast amount of publicity obtained through the “press the button” story, forming good relationships with our other local media colleagues, the wide range of community magazine programmes and specialist music show broadcast including the involvement of a wide range of members of the community together and the willingness of known personalities who have been interviewed for Radio Teesdale.
Whilst taking members through the accounts Alastair explained that fund raising must remain of the highest priority in the New Year. John Atkinson and Keith (Jo) Jones were re-elected back onto the Board of Management of Radio Teesdale. Simon Allen, who had been co-opted to the board during the year, was also confirmed as a director by the membership.
We have carried out a several “in conversation” interviews this week. Top North East folk singer Katie Doherty visited the studio one afternoon and recorded an interview and three songs (including a track yet to be released). We have also spoken to top British play write and Director John Godber, Wings guitarist/vocalist/writer Denny Laine and former G4 member Jonathan Ansell who is currently launching a new album. Listen out for when these interviews will be broadcast.
