There’s a pub quiz in aid of Hereford Hospital Radio at TGS Bowling, Hereford on Sunday 30th November 2008 from 8pm.

The theme is ’school’ with the usual pub quiz rounds being ditched in favour of ‘lessons’ and there’s bonus points if you come in fancy dress.
£1 per person, max of 6 per team. Gallon of beer to be won & minimum of £50 cash prize.

Hosting a show on Hospital Radio is great fun, sometimes the 2 hours just whizz by and it’s over before you know it. So I asked our station manager if there was any chance I could have a bit longer…. big mistake.

Mark certainly granted me my wish and on Monday 3rd November I’ll be given some extra time on the show.. sadly it’s slightly longer than the extra hour I was expecting… a whole 24 hours longer.

To help raise awareness of HHR and the genuine difference we can make to your stay at Hereford County Hospital I’m going from 10am on 3rd November to 10am 4th November. Hmm, I think I’ll need a bit more than just the entertainment news to talk about…

Various presenters from across Hereford Hospital Radio will, hopefully, join me throughout the day sharing their favourite music and their favourite strong coffee…

If you own a local business or service and would like to talk to us about how you can support this event please call HHR on 0870 7651236.

Wish me luck!

Times change, styles change.

Our current website has served us well for the last few years, but its time for a facelift. We will be shortly bringing a hospital radio blog, and changing things around a little. Please either come back to see the updates as they occur, or use our new RSS feed functionality on our blog posts, of which this is one.

If you have any comments on the changes please feel free to add your comments.

Wondered if you could be the next Chris Evans or Chris Moyles?

Or know your XLR from your IRN?

Want to have some fun, whilst entertaining people, then Hereford Hospital Radio would love to hear from you.

The station has been broadcasting for over 30 years to the patients and staff at the County Hospital, and some of our former members have gone on to become Professionals - Andrew Easton and Dr Fox are just two!

The station is looking for new volunteers,to help in the operation of the station. This doesn’t mean the next Chris Evans, but those people behind the scenes who help the station to operate, in many diverse ways.

From Presenting Programmes, Collecting requests, Helping with Fund Raising Events, Producing Outside Broadcasts, Compering School Fetes, are just a few of the jobs that our volunteers do, and you could join them.

Training is given for many of the roles, and the small team of happy volunteers are always on hand to help support anyone who has the time to give.

You may even have skills, and experience that we could benefit from, and our volunteers come from many walks of life, and all contribute in different ways to help us improve the way the station works, and improve for a short time the lives of those who are unfortunate to be in Hospital.

So if you would like to join us, email us at hhr456@hhr.org.uk ( remove the 456) give us a ring on 0870 7651236, or contact the Jane Derry ( Voluntary Services Manager) at the County Hospital 01432 355444.
