[Community Media Association] Our First General Election

[Mickey Conn]

Message forwarded for Roger Drury of Forest of Dean Commumity Radio

----
REVIEW, REFLECTION AND A RESULT

So this Thursday marks the first time new community radio stations will 
add their take on the issues of national democracy, a general election


Here in the Forest of Dean we have a marginal seat, we have been out 
asking local people their views, recorded young people raising their 
concerns, we hosted a public debate with the local newspaper and will 
broadcast from Midnight until the results which are predicted as any 
time between 3am and 6am

The BBC are sending down several different teams to cover the event.

We have put together a team of volunteer reporters of all ages.

So I am writing to invite contributions from community broadcasters and 
projects about you have responded to the election and aimed to make a 
difference to the involvement of your local community.

Let us know if you would be willing to add your voice to our coverage on
election night.

E mail to contactus at fodradio.org <mailto:contactus at fodradio.org> or 
phone 01594-820722

Best wishes
