Picture perfect

It’s an oft-used saying and one that applies to lots of different situations…

But You’ll never get a second chance to make a first impression definitely fits the bill when it comes to online dating!

There’s no doubt that people giving those apps a go usually make up their mind in a split second so it’s important to catch their eye and make sure that first impression really is a good one…

And that’s just one of the things that photographer Gemma Wilks, this week’s guest on Girls Around Town, sets out to do for clients.

Gemma will be in the studio with June in the second hour of the show to explain how she’s on a mission to abolish those bathroom selfies, replacing them with eye-catching photos and dating profiles that stop singles in their scroll.

Online dating isn’t for everyone of course, which is why she also hosts regular Single and Mingle evenings in Nottingham where guests can meet up over a drink and a bite to eat in the old-fashioned way.

And that’s not all – inspired by Channel 4’s First Dates, she’s just launched Table For Two which matches suitable couples over a delicious meal…

The only difference being there’s no TV crew present and of course no Fred Sirieix greeting guests on their arrival at the restaurant!

Make sure you Put On Your Sunday Best on 107.8FM, on the apps or online to hear what Gemma has to say from just after 11am this weekend…

When no doubt she and June will have plenty to share about their own first dates too, both successful and otherwise!!

Life in the fast lane with Coach Cath

Posted on by

From business coaching and social media courses to publishing her first book – if you’re a regular listener to Girls Around Town, you’ll know that this week’s guest is definitely a woman who achieves everything she sets out to do…

And right now it looks as though Cath Babbington could be about to be officially recognised for doing exactly that!

Nominated recently for this year’s Woman Who Achieves Awards, Coach Cath as she’s known to her clients will be back in the studio in the second hour on Sunday to tell June – and you – all about it and just what it means to her to be in the running for such a prestigious award.

With two new projects in the pipeline as well – her first journal and a brand new business to boot – it’s a wonder she’s able to find the time to pop over to Radio Newark for another on-air chat.

But, in the words of Benjamin Franklin, if you want something done, ask a busy person which is exactly what June did and what Cath will be doing…

So hopefully you won’t be too busy to Put On Your Sunday Best on 107.8FM, on the apps or online between 10am and 12 noon as usual this weekend to hear what Cath has to say about life in the fast lane these days!

The key to making a good first impression

Are you – or someone you know – thinking about renting out a house or flat?

There’s no shortage of advice online and on TV programmes about how to make the best impression when viewers arrive to see what’s on offer, of course…

But this week’s guest on Girls Around Town has a few top tips of her own to share when she’s live in the studio on Sunday!

Joining June in the second hour of the show, Gemma Atkinson will be explaining why and how she switched from being a social worker to set up Flying Keys, working with both landlords and tenants in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire.

Based on her experience over the last couple of years, she’ll be highlighting some of the key things you should consider doing before those potential renters step through the front door to check out whether your property is the one they want to move into.

What is it they’re looking at and for? How important is kerb appeal?

And does it really make a difference if your home smells of freshly baked bread or brewing coffee?!

Make sure you’re tuned in to 107.8FM or listening on the apps, on Alexa or online from just after 11am to hear those top tips from Gemma when you Put On Your Sunday Best this weekend.
