Radio Warneford's Easter Eggstravaganza
Comes To Leamington Spa

Radio Warneford, the hospital radio service for South Warwickshire, will be holding its first major fund raising event of 2008 this weekend.

Our Easter Eggstravaganza will be taking place at the Royal Priors, Leamington Spa, on Saturday 8th March between 9.30am and 3.00pm. Visitors to the Royal Priors will have the chance to win Easter Eggs and chocolates kindly donated by local organisations and Radio Warneford members.

Tickets cost just 25p or four for a £1. That's four chances to win a prize! Don't miss out - you'll find us not far from Top Shop in the Royal Priors.

All proceeds from the Easter Eggstravaganza will be used to maintain and improve the radio service that Radio Warneford's volunteer members provide for patients and staff at Warwick Hospital and to upgrade the equipment at our studio complex.

The Easter Eggstravaganza marks the start of Radio Warneford's 35th Birthday Year. Other events coming up include a Charity Acoustic Night at The Moo Bar in Leamington Spa on Saturday 3rd April and a 35-hour sponsored Marathon Broadcast later in the year.

Come along, be a winner and become a volunteer with Radio Warneford!
