1988 Fete Day
Annual Fete
The annual fete this year; was once again organized by the league of friends and was an opportunity for the radio station to broadcast the event to the patients via the medium wave, as well as provide PA services on the field.
This year two presenters from the radio Tony Horder and Viv Lewis dressed up as Sylvester and Tweety pie and mingled with the visitors on the field offering photo opportunities and sweets to the small children.
Former news reader Kenneth Kendall was the opener and spent time visiting the stalls.
Radio Heatherwood broadcast programs from the studio from 9.30 in the morning at 11.50 the programs switched to the field and music and speeches etc were relayed live from the fete until 15.30.

1988 was a very busy year for the station management and as the year unfolded there was much to do and organise

Fete Day Radio Programs
The launch of the AM service in April allowed us to relay the service not only from the studio to the green but also the opening ceremonies and content and listening in was as easy as switching on your AM radio.
