Yesterday evening I was invited to appear on Harrogate Hospital Radio by Ellie Jackson (right) and Cathie Hague, better known as “The girls who shouldn’t” to join them on their regular Monday night entertainment for the patients and staff at the District Hospital.
It was about this time last year when Ellie, from Pateley wanted her listeners to hear all about the Great Milk (stout) Ride. That broadcast and the subsequent “live” recordings they made at last year’s event at the show ground were worked into a package that the station was submitting to National Hospital Broadcasting Awards and at the ceremony held in the Queens Hotel, Leeds on March 28th. Harrogate had entered seven categories and were shortlisted in five.
Result - 3 commendations received for Best Speech Package, and Steve Pexton and Mark Bexley in the Best Male Presenter category. The station got the Silver Award in the Station of the Year, and Ellie got the Silver Award for Best Newcomer. There are 243 hospital radio stations throughout the whole of the UK, so they naturally felt very proud to have received the awards they did.
They hope to do even better next year – so watch out the rest of the UK!
We look forward to seeing Ellie and Cathie again at GMsR 2008 on 7th September.
I certainly couldn’t see why they shouldn’t!
