Back at my desk.

What a feeling.

Lots of work to do now, new blood, new directions.

The lesson is- fight, fight, fight.

If you win, be grateful & take the opportunity.

But if you lose, rest assured that you've been doing the work of (the) God(s) (delete as applicable).

I'm more proud that I work in Community Media today than when we won the licence.

Excuse me I have some work to do.

Good news!!!



Cambridge Community Radio station 209 has been saved from shutting

down at the eleventh hour.



The station was yesterday set to close but a desperate appeal to raise

£28,000 to save it has been answered.



The station today announced on its website: "We’ve reached our target

of £28,000 – thanks to all of you generous people, we’ll be on air for

another three months."



In order to survive the station needed to gather pledges of £28,000 by

midnight on Monday.



The award-winning charity which supports dozens of local community

groups, including the elderly, the homeless and people with mental

health issues, was on the verge of closure due to a funding crisis.



It started in a living room in March 2003 and is now working with more

than 170 volunteers with just three paid staff.
