| We
currently have over fifty members from all backgrounds and of all ages,
and we are always interested in hearing from new people who want to join
us.
We aim to liven up the patients stay in
hospital, to entertain and to try to relieve some of the boredom and
bring to Northampton General Hospital, a hospital radio station that the
patients want to listen to.
We play 'Even More of the Music that YOU
Request' and we hope to bring 'Bedside Company at it's BEST'. But to do
that we are always on the look out for new members with new ideas and
who can help us to provide even more entertainment to the hospital.
New members join for a variety of different
reasons, whether it's presenting or producing programmes, the technical
side of broadcasting, fundraising, ward visiting or one of the many
other important aspects of running the station. But above all they join
us to use their spare time to do something interesting, worthwhile and
to benefit those people unfortunate enough to have to spend some time in
hospital.
Any new member who joins us will be given a
comprehensive six-month training programme to learn the skills of
presenting and producing programmes. They will be involved in the
stations fundraising, visiting wards for requests around the hospital,
helping with outside broadcasts and many many more activities. The
training may sound daunting but it provides excellent practical
experience to a high standard on professional broadcasting studio
equipment that has recently all been upgraded.
We are proud that a number of our previous and
current members have gone on to careers within local and national radio
and television.
Still Interested? Well, you need to be over 18
years old, have one evening a week to spare and some time during the
weekend. It's fun, but it's also a lot of hard work!
