In case you missed it earlier this month…
Here’s another chance to hear what Ginnette and Kayleigh had to say when they joined June live in the studio to share details of the work done by The Hygiene Bank for those in need living in and around Newark.
Are you a keen amateur photographer, looking to hone your skills?
Or someone who’d like a little bit of help finding out how to turn those snaps you take into perfect pics?
Either way, if you don’t already know about one long-established group that meets regularly here in Newark, you need to make sure you’re listening in to this week’s Girls Around Town…
When June will be chatting live on air to Rose King, the current president of that group, in the second hour of the show.
Originally known as Newark Photographic Society when it was first set up back in 1938, it’s now the Newark & District Photographic Society and its aim is to spotlight the very best in local amateur photography.
The group meets every Monday evening from 7.30pm to 10pm between September and April over at Newark Showground‘s Sheldon Suite, when guest speakers talk about their own photographic techniques and experiences and members receive constructive criticism of their work.
Rose will have news of some of those upcoming meetings, open to members, prospective members and non-members interested in a single event, and she’ll be talking too about her own photographs as well as the numerous posts she’s held since first joining the group before becoming its current president!
Don’t forget to Put On Your Sunday Best this weekend by listening live on 107.8FM, on the free Radio Newark apps, on Alexa or online from just after 11.10am to hear what Rose has to say…
And if you’ve got a Newark-related photograph of your own you’d like to share, why not head over to the Girls Around Town Facebook page to add it to the comments on the post about this Sunday’s chat, which you’ll find at the very top there?
It’s been just over a year since Christina Phillips-Kelly was last on Girls Around Town, chatting to June about how things were gradually returning to normal for The Studio at Averham after the lifting of Covid-19 restrictions.
And now she’s back, live in the studio this weekend with news of what’s on the cards in the coming weeks and months for her and the dancers she trains…
Bright and early in the first hour of the show because she needs to rush across to Averham to carry out some of that training!
Just a few days after her chat with June, on Saturday 17 September to be precise, she’ll be putting on a street performance – if you’re not quite sure what one of these involves, she’ll have a full explanation to share with you, along with what the theme of this particular one is, where it’s taking place and of course the all-important timing for those of you who’d like to pop along and enjoy it.
Looking a bit further forward, she’ll be talking about a long-awaited opportunity to bring a special event to the area, postponed for a couple of years because of those lockdowns.
Taking place at Southwell Minster School on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 December, it’s Cinderella – quite possibly one of the most well-known and best-loved tales of all time transformed into a ballet.
If panto’s not really your thing, this sounds like a great alternative for a pre-Christmas treat so make sure you’re tuned in to 107.8FM or listening on the apps, on Alexa or online from just after 10.20am for a bit of a preview…
And you’ll probably want to do the same again on Sunday 27 November, when Christina will be back on air for an update on how the rehearsals are progressing as they head towards the day when the curtain will rise for the first performance a few weeks later!
