| 21 May | Over 1000 youngsters (various organisations) parade through Dundonald for a service at the Presbyterian Church. We recorded interviews and the bands playing. We also recorded the church service. The recordings were then rushed through the crowds (with a police escort!) to be edited and played on the Hospital Radio. An especially important broadcast because the Minister who was scheduled to give the sermon at that youth service was a patient, so had to listen to the radio to hear someone else give the address! (7 volunteers involved) |
