    I check all of the audio after I`ve uploaded them. This is the second one which has strangely become fore-shortened. I`ll upload it again & gradually check the rest.

    Thanks for letting me know threegee.

    Even stranger still threegee I`ve just checked it out & it ran the full 6`26". Any thoughts?

    Interesting John, thanks!  Something might come out of this.

     

    I notice the Dennis Fancett Community Help Hub.mp3 seems to be far too short - only 30 seconds! Can we try another copy, or did someone this end screw up?

    Ah yes the Barnet Formula.

     

    I came across this when NCC councillors held a public meeting at County Hall (late 80s) prior to them going to London to plead Northumberland`s case for more money.

     

    I video`d the meeting & I somewhere still have the tape. NCC commisioned an AV presentation to support their case.

     

    The slide which set out the "Formula`s" formula was unbelievable. 

     

    If I remember correctly money is allocated partly using density of population against dimensions of the area in question. That`s where we lost out!

     

    Maybe I remember wrongly. Anyway I prefer Sanjeevs explanation...    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-27423110

     

    Well it`s either that or cry!

    Ordinary was like gnat`s.

     

    Best blew your brains out!

     

    Inbetweenies like me drank "mixed"

    My first pint was at 16, in the back room of the "Shakey" in Guide Post... Tartan; but only ever in a `chunky` glass, with a handle; that real men never used!!

     

    When I came of age I progressed to the Bar... A smallish area which resembled London in the smog!

    It would be good to get it over the web ... I can't get it on my cat's whisker set.

    Symptoms/Ex Bed.

    It`s always been Synergy policy that we would not ask our presenters to put together quality programmes on the off chance of being listened to by a small number on the net.

    Nice thought though both. Thank you.

    I hope we gave you something you liked to listen to on the 2 FM RSLs

    Who knows Symp. that guy in the red suit might bring you a solid state trannie this year!

    Sorry to hear that, I was wishing SNRG would get the licence Ofcom must not have been listening to the great 28-day FM broadcasts that were put out.

    You`re right.

    It seems Ofcom don`t listen Adam. Or they declined to say they did, when we asked them!

    Many thanks for your support over the years.

    Good luck with WBTC stuff.

    Dear All,

    Ofcom has not granted the application by South Northumberland Radio Group for a full time community radio licence for Synergy to broadcast on FM to people in south east Northumberland.
     

    After six years of hard work by the Group to establish a genuinely accessible community radio station and two well received 28-day FM broadcasts, the decision of Ofcom is a great disappointment not only to our members and volunteers but also to the many individuals and organisations in the area that have supported our efforts since 2008.

    We believe that the broadcasting service we provided did much to ease social isolation and meet the information needs of the communities and public at large in south east Northumberland.
     

    We would like to place on record our grateful thanks to everyone who supported our proposals.

    We wish Koast well in its endeavours in fulfilling its obligations to provide the type of community radio service the area deserves as the result of the award of a full time licence, and high standards of broadcasting which our listeners have come to expect.

    The Group will meet in the very near future to consider its future.

    The Music Box was where the cobblers is now, Keith Coultas and Sylvia Anderson from leechies estate,

    Keith also opened up a 2nd shop in Blyth mkt place where savers is,

    think Ive still got a little bag with me tape splicer in! At least thats my offering, but could b wrong!!

    You are correct Viv. That is where I used to go to buy my single/albums.

    If they didn`t have a record I wanted Sylvia would get it in for me & give me DJ discount, as I worked for hospital radio at the time.

    Spent many an hour there: & loads of dosh too!
