Taking a break for Christmas – but back for the New Year!

Posted on by

If you were listening to Girls Around Town yesterday, you’ll know that June will be taking a break on Boxing Day…

But don’t worry, she’ll be back to start 2022 with a bang on Sunday 2 January!

In the meantime, a quick shout out to all the lovely listeners and to each and every one of the equally lovely guests who’ve joined her on the show throughout 2021 – far too many to mention by name of course but every one of them made getting up early on Sunday mornings an absolute pleasure!

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone and don’t forget that Radio Newark will be broadcasting 24/7 as usual throughout the festive break on 107.8FM, on the apps and online…

The perfect background as you’re wrapping pressies for family and friends on Christmas Eve, unwrapping your own gifts the next day before tucking into the turkey and then raising a glass or two to celebrate the New Year!

Above all, don’t forget to Put On Your Sunday Best again on Sunday 2 January and every Sunday going forward.

June’s already started lining up lots of great guests to join her in the studio or on the phone, gathering plenty of quirky stories to share on the show and looking forward to playing plenty of good music to keep you entertained.

Watch this space for details of the first of those guests – stay safe over the break – and make sure you’re turned on and tuned to welcome her back on air in a couple of weeks’ time!!

Building better, brighter futures

If you were listening to Girls Around Town last month, you’ll have heard June talking about local charity Framework and its current campaign to raise £160,000 to help the people it supports.

Since 2021 Framework has helped tens of thousands of people change the direction of their lives, empowering them to overcome issues of homelessness, addiction, mental ill-health and unemployment…

And this weekend, its fundraising and communications manager Claire Eden will be in the studio to tell listeners how it does just that.

Claire will have an update on the current campaign, talking about how the Big Sleep Out went and sharing information about other events taking place right now to help reach that target, together with details of some of the things she and her colleagues are planning for 2022.

Make sure you’re listening on 107.8FM, on the apps or online from just after 11.10am on Sunday to hear what she has to say…

And, of course, to find out how you can get involved and support their aim of helping those in need across Nottinghamshire overcome the problems of their past and build better, brighter futures.

Simply sweet

With Christmas just around the corner, food – buying, cooking and of course eating it! – is probably pretty high on your to-do list right now.

But what if you want something quick and easy to prepare, with just a few ingredients and absolutely no cooking involved?

The answer’s simple – and so’s the recipe Sue Jackson will be sharing in the second hour of this week’s Girls Around Town!

Make sure you’re listening on 107.8FM, on the apps, on Alexa or online from just after 11.10am…

When Sue will joining June live in the studio to give you all the details you need to whip up her Easy No-Bake Lime Cheesecake, the ideal choice if you’re looking for a delicious dessert to add to your festive menu.

And there’s no need to have pen and paper at the ready when she does, because you’ll find those details here or on Facebook straight after the show.

The only question is whether Sue will be bringing a super simple sample with her…

Or will June be heading off to the supermarket to stock up on what she needs, ready to treat herself – and one or two lucky friends – this Christmas?!
