| The Castle Players' production of Charles Dickens play "Christmas Carol"

It's been a very busy period for many of our members over the last few weeks, preparing for the Christmas schedule. As well as an extensive live programme we will be broadcasting a number of special shows.
In the new year we have a number of exciting plans, including an extensive programme of outside broadcasting, a series of programmes based on archive recordings, an after school club and a young person's project looking at the work of the AONB. If you would like to get involved then please let me know. In the meantime there will be lots of things to listen out for over the holiday period including..............
