Highams Park Internet Radio Station

Some of our members are planning to set up a Highams Park Internet Radio Station and please find below a message from Gill Poulter regarding some training that may be available for people interested in volunteering, message as follows:

“Hi there, in February of next year we are hoping to launch an Internet Radio for Highams Park. It will be called HighamSpark Radio (HSR). In going forward with this we are working with East London Radio (ELR) who will help with set up, training and initial programming.
We did not anticipate launching anything about this until February 2016 but we have an offer from ELR for training as outlined in the note from ELR below:

There’s something we’re doing at ELR which may well help and be timely for you…..”We have Lottery Awards4All funding to run 5 x 6 week courses to train anyone not in employment, education or training, in radio skills. This is 1 hour a week on Fridays, one to one with me, at a venue in Custom House/Canning Town. We’re nearly at the end of the first 6weeks, and I am looking to get people to participate in the next one starting early New Year. So, this might help you get some of your guys training at no cost, if anyone fits the bill, and even if they have experience, they can use the time to record shows for HSR. I know it’s a tricky journey from your area, but we do pay travel expenses. There are 6 spaces on each course, but I can also work with small groups if there were 2 or 3 people wanting to work together. It will help me to have some of the spaces on the remaining courses earmarked for your people. The software and hardware would be the same as we’d recommend you using for HSR, I’m flexible about what I teach, could be presenting, editing, producing, technical side”.

Anyone interested in helping with this project or the training by ELR please contact Gill Poulter on this email address: h.spark.radio@gmail.com
