road tripHave you ever thought about selling up and just taking off? Travelling the world with nothing but a single suitcase? Well, that’s exactly what this week’s guest on Girls Around Town has done…

And now her journey’s bringing her to Newark to spend an hour or two in the studio chatting with June, Tina and Sue.

Find out what inspired Jackie Dunn to set off on the ultimate road trip, where it’s taken her so far and what she’s learned along the way, not just about the places she’s visited and the people she’s met but about herself.

Tune in from 10am to 1pm this Saturday, on air or online – perhaps Jackie will even drop a few hints about what’s in that all-important suitcase too!

Working together to help the wider community

The organisation crossed the Atlantic in 1914 and 10 years later the Rotary Club of Newark held its first meeting in the Town Hall, with 22 founder members charged an entry fee of one guinea.

Paula Hurst, a committee member of the Newark club, will be joining June, Tina and Sue this Saturday to talk about its work and the current campaign to encourage more local women to become Rotarians. Yes, the Girls Around Town thought it was strictly men only too – but since women were admitted in the 1980s, they now make up 15 per cent of membership internationally.

With the usual helping of great music and some interesting snippets from the news thrown in for good measure,there’ll be plenty of reasons to tune in to 107.8FM or listen online from 10am to 1pm on Saturday…
