More than £450 was raised for the station over the two days, a fantastic result.

The BIG Music Weekend
Radio Warneford marked the end of summer with a fantastic BIG Music Weekend - 35 hours of continuous broadcasting celebrating a huge variety of musical styles.
Amongst the programmes on air over the weekend were those featuring pop, rock, jazz, classical, big band, easy listening, soul & country music.
Two Request Shows and many competitions ensured that there were plenty of contributions from patients on the wards.
HBA Long Service Award Radio Warneford member and former Chairman Keith Black has received a Hospital Broadcasting Association Long Service Award in recognition of his 30 years of service to Radio Warneford. The certificate was presented to Keith at the station's Annual General Meeting by current Chairman Sara Lister.
Keith thanked Sara and said it had been a very rewarding 30 years. He said it was not about being a DJ but about engaging with patients and the response you get from them which, in itself, is reward enough.
Volunteers Week "Extra Mile" Awards A number of Radio Warneford's members were presented with Volunteers Week "Extra Mile" Awards at the 2010 Annual General Meeting in recognition of the work they do behind the scenes at the station.
From left to right: Louise Drinkhall (for all her work liaising with Sainsburys who have sponsored a number of our events), Rob Phillips (for taking over Radio Warneford's accounts and saving the station a lot of money in the process), Trish Moore (for her interviewing of new members and ward training), Cliff Proctor (for his production work and selling so many raffle tickets for the Grand Draw), Sue Andrews (for taking the minutes at the Committee meetings), Ley Bricknell (for masterminding the relaunch of Radio Warneford's MacGregor Ward Request Show), Sara Lister (Radio Warneford's Chairman), Valda Reid (for keeping many of the teams on the go by being our 'filler' presenter) and Paul Kalus (for his work on a new library computer system). One other member who wasn't able to be present also received an Extra Mile award - Claire Brewster who obtained a 'matching scheme' cheque for £500 for Radio Warneford from her employers Landrover Jaguar.
Snitterfield Village Fête Radio Warneford has taken part in the annual Snitterfield Village Fête and once again it was a fantastic day out for all the family - including our four-legged friends.

MacGregor Ward Patient Harry Oldridge

Radio Warneford Remembers Matt Monro Radio Warneford's 2010 Easter schedule included a very special programme celebrating the life of British star Matt Monro. It marked the 25th anniversary of his death and the 50th anniversary of his first hit record, Portrait Of My Love.
As well as remembering some of Matt Monro's greatest hits, presenters Louise Drinkhall and Paul Kalus went to meet Matt's daughter Michele who had just published a new book entitled The Singer's Singer: The Life And Music Of Matt Monro. Michele told us all about her dad and his music and chose some rare recordings for us to enjoy.
