Last week instead of our usual Blog session we invited some of our friends from Firdale over so we could interview them about their visit the week before to Cheshire FM radio in Winsford.
Staff Hayley Cove and Joan Taylor came over with Amy Bamford, Claire Wilson, Joanne Moore, Tracy Mason, Tim Hughes, Christopher Brown, Wendy Angles and Lorna Edwards and we made them welcome so they could tell us all about it.
Karen Morrey very helpfully took all the notes and worked very hard whilst the Blog group asked lots of questions, and this is what we found out:
The Firdale group hired the Freedom mini bus and Paul Watson drove them all over. They arrived at the Verdin Exchange where they were met by the lovely man in charge, Mike Worthington. They were shown around and said the building was great, and nice and warm too as it was a cold day! They went up in the lift to the Radio Station and were introduced to lots of nice people, including Big Al, the famous DJ! He mentioned them live on air and dedicated a Boyzone song to Firdale as well. They were shown the computers that control all the records being played, and everything else and how some things were taped in advance so even if someone needed the loo they could nip out and not leave the radio silent!
Then, a special guest came in to see them - it was the Cheshire FM mascot, the Cheshire Cat! He was very tall, nearly as tall as our Rae Williams, but not quite! He was too tired to go for a drink with them, so he went home to bed, but back downstairs, in the cafe, Mike bought everyone elsea drink.
Everyone told us what their favourite thing was about the visit: Hayley loved seeing everyone's faces when the Cheshire Cat came through the door and Joan loved looking around the studio and seeing how it was all done. Tracy and Claire's favourite was the Cheshire cat, Amy really enjoyed being out together as a group, Chris anad Wendy and Jo loved the music and Jo was dancing too, and Tim really enjoyed speaking to the DJ about how everything worked and said he really knew his stuff! Lorna liked being out and about.
All in all, everyone said they had a lovely day, and we really enjopyed hearing about it too, thanks guys.
