Some of the history of the village and details of our visit was aired live via a telephone link. We handed out Park Radio pens, wrist bands and copies of our ‘On the Air’ magazine.
Visit to Fressingfield WI “On September 14th Chris Moyse visited Fressingfield Women's Institute to talk to us about Park Radio. It was interesting listening to him and the lovely lady with him (sorry didn't catch the name). I tuned into your station later in the week and in a short space of time heard Leo Sayer, The Beatles, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, ABBA and T Rex. It was so refreshing to hear a different, varied, playlist, with music being the focus, rather than the presenters. You're now a Pre-Set Station on my radio, my husband who readily becomes bored listening to other stations is a fan. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you and make a request. The request is for all of the Volunteers at Park Radio. Anything from the 70's, whatever time is best for your team.” Many Thanks, Jacqui Thone
