Eastbourne Youth Radio is great success
YOUNG PEOPLE aged five to 19 from across Eastbourne and Hailsham delivered three days of fantastic programmes on Eastbourne Youth Radio (EYR) last week.
These included a wide range of music, interviews, drama and competitions. Live performances included several college bands, soloists and a stunning musical showcase by the girls from Moira House School.
Wednesday saw Answer Back with a panel led by Nigel Waterson MP together with other political, business and voluntary sector representatives. This was followed on Thursday with 'Meet the Media' that enabled students to quiz the professionals about their work.
Readers will be aware of the business and community links that are central to EYRs ethos and continued success. Each year the project is delighted to welcome new partners and in 2009 these have included Jones Bootmaker, OBC The Accountants, East Sussex Stop Smoking Service, Charles Stanley & Co. Ltd, GAK Education and The Prince's Trust.
As always, the organisers, Eastbourne Education Business Partnership, are grateful to everyone that helped to make EYR happen for the ninth successive year.
In particular, to the lead sponsors The British Wireless for the Blind Fund (www.blind.org.uk ) and The Weather Shop (www.weatherfront.biz), to the schools and colleges for over 55 hours of programmes and finally to Sussex Downs College for giving up studio space.
