Alrewas Radio Update 5/7/13

Long time no posty I am afraid guys, and I do apologise! I have been busy hard at work. Yesterday for example, I did a 7-1 shift in the co-op, then I had 15 minutes for my lunch before I shot off up to the primary school to run radio workshops with some year 6s, for a podcast they are creating for their Leavers Evening!  enjoy doing stuff with the radio, so it is a great opportunity for me to dust off the old macbook and mics. I then dashed straight off to beavers, where we were playing a massive game of capture the flag in a field right next to the canal in a field full of cow poo. Lovely...

But as far as the topic of this post, Alrewas Radio. The last time I wrote, I was just about ta attend a meeting about something completely unrelated, but still very related! There is currently a development of a Village Neighbourhood Plan, to allow people to have a say in the development of the village, and this is something that I have been dragged into, being a young person on the organisers emailing list... But anyway, with a few other young people in the village, we are going to be creating some little short clips to do with our village plan.

At a meeting about this, I discussed with the Alrewas Radio Gods about the possibilities of future expansion of Alrewas Radio, and in the process, I have got a bit caught up in techy hype...

I have also borrowed some mixers and mics from the recording studio we have at school to use during the Alrewas Radio Barge Fest (24th - 28th July, be there or be square) and on the back of that we will have some funding to invest in some new kit.

I have been looking into it and I have found what I think we are looking for. I am thinking about investing in a 8 channel input alongside 2 radio condesner mics that, when used together, will give us a wider range of things to do and also a much better quality.

So, lots of new and exciting things to come from the production side of Alrewas Radio, as well as from the Presenting side! I hope you guys are all looking forward to it as much as I am!

Thanks for reading.
