Halton Community Radio, based in Castlefields in Runcorn celebrated
their 2nd anniversary of being on air last week and celebrated with a
party at The Studio, Lacey St in Widnes. The station’s presenters
deejayed the night away, plus local bands The Hutts and Coalhouse
performed acoustic versions of their best tunes. The party was
attended by HCR’s volunteers and listeners, some of whom have been
keen fans of the station since it first hit the airwaves on 92.3FM
back in 2008.
Rob Green, Chair of HCR’s executive committee said ‘We were delighted to
meet so many of our listeners old and new. It was a great way to
celebrate our 2nd birthday. Here’s to the next two years, and many
more.’
Pete Muldoon is the Project Officer at the station. He runs the REACT
course at HCR – funded by BBC Children in Need - which provides free
training to young people in Runcorn and Widnes. He said, ‘Halton
Community Radio continues to go from strength to strength. At the
moment we have 54 volunteers contributing their free time to help the
station run smoothly. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank
everyone who has been involved, including our advertisers and
sponsors. And of course our listeners who make it all worthwhile.’
