Local Radio – The Voice – You Can Own It !

19/12/2011 by Leave a Comment

Whether you liked Lantern FM or not, whether you liked the music or not, whether you liked the presenters  or not – no one can argue the fact that for many years Lantern FM was truly local radio for North Devon.

In March 2009 the name Lantern FM disappeared from the dial to be replaced by a North Devon
version of Heart, subsequently all the local North Devon output was taken away in Aug 2010 – all the office and presentation staff lost their jobs – when the “new enhanced” Heart Devon wide service started

Since June 2010 – I have campaigned to bring back Local Radio to North Devon. You might
not like the Voice, you might not like all the presenters, you might not like all the music, but one thing you will agree on – it will be local. In fact more local that Lantern FM was. We will be a community radio station – with local news, local business news, local networking members, we will train new presenters whatever age, we will be the VOICE for North Devon. Keep updated via
our website www.thevoicefm.co.uk and if you can support financially or via mentions on social media – everything helps

OFCOM to announce our result end of January 2012

Why hire when you can borrow!

20/10/2011 by 1 Comment

Tweeting away with one of the finalists in the North Devon Business Alliance sponsored category, they were looking for a free survey tool that they could integrate into their website. I suggested Survey Monkey – and also offered to promote the survey when it was up and running here on the NDBA website, after all that is, in some respects, what  we are all about – helping small businesses here in North Devon become bigger businesses.

Now, I’m not a great fan of wearing jewellery but I do know that it very expensive, so the idea of borrowing it rather than buying it, or hiring it is a great idea!

The process is easy, you choose and pay for your jewellery as you would for a normal order, check the box at checkout to opt in for ‘Something Borrowed’ and fill in the date of your wedding or event where you will be wearing the jewellery. We then make and send you your jewellery with a form explaining exactly how to return it to us.

Anyway, if you want to find out more, then please check Bridal Designs website for all the details.

I think it’s a neat idea!

Do you want to join the NDBA and have your product promoted on our website, check us out or come along to one of our lunches – the next one is in Combe Martin on 28th October – check out our events listing for more information and email us to confirm your booking!
