bouquetOne lucky listener won a beautiful seasonal bouquet from Flowertime this morning, in the first of four competitions on Girls Around Town. Congratulations to Monica Lawrence from Newark – we hope you enjoy your flowers as much as you enjoyed the show!

If you entered and didn’t win or if you missed the chance today, all is not lost – June, Tina and Sue have three more bouquets to give away before Christmas…

Tune in between 10am and 1pm on Saturday 6, Saturday 13 and Saturday 20 December to find out how to enter – next time, the bouquet could be yours!

 

 

Turn on, tune in – the girls are back!

listening inEveryone else may be counting down to Christmas right now but the Girls Around Town have their eyes on a very different deadline…

In just over 24 hours, June, Tina and Sue will be back behind the microphones for the first of four shows in November and December. It’s been over six months since they were last on air with Radio Newark, so chances are they’ll have plenty to say!

Deborah Garlick, Nadine Cooper and Pam Burrows will all be joining them in the studio between 10am and 1pm on Saturday, to talk about ‘the wisdom of women’ – no shortage of material there then…

With such a broad subject to tackle, expect anything and everything from the serious to the strange. Did someone mention nipple cream? You’ll have to tune in to 87.7fm to find out what that’s all about!

Not in or near Newark on Saturday? No problem – listen live at www.radionewark.co.uk – and why not share your own pearls of wisdom with the girls, via their Facebook page. They’d love to hear some of your favourites…

 

O come all ye faithful…

community carols 3…To Newark Market Place, where you’ll find everything from carols and choirs to Santas and shopping on Sunday 14 December…

The festive fun begins at 10am, when local traders set out their wares for the Christmas Market. Bag a bargain or two, find fabulous gifts and treats for family and friends – and even have them wrapped in The Buttermarket.

There’ll be plenty of opportunities for audience participation and the choir of Newark Business Club will be there too, singing their own unique version of The 12 Days of Christmas…

No celebration of Christmas would be complete without Santa, of course. Or in this case lots of Santas, as local residents of all ages take part in the charity Santa Dash, racing around the Market Place to raise money for Beaumond House.

And in case you need an extra incentive to join in the fun, it’s just been announced that parking in Tolney Lane car parks will be FREE on Sunday 14 December (and on Saturday 13, Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 December too)…
