Greetings to all the DCR Crew from the Olympic city of Beijing, where the excitement is really building!
Yesterday, I visited the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games International Broadcast Centre and the Main Broadcast Centre near China’s National Stadium which is also known as The Birds Nest. I’ll try and send some photos later ok?
It all looked awesome!
We are ready to welcome everyone for the Games on August 8th, 2008.
Hi everyone thanks for all the kind wishes on the arrival of my wee grandson Nathan He was born on 30th June and weighed in at 6lbs 71/2 oz he has a good mop of hair and is beautiful Doesnt take his good looks after me thats for sure LOL June xxx
Hey you guys, how big was this yellow tea pot? It has been said it was used as a tourist information booth and is now dissembled stored in a shed in Coat Bridge.
Are you guys still looking for studio premises–
-Do you see where I am going with this?
A little bird has told us that a regular contributor to DCR blogg has recently become a Granny for the first time with the arrival of Baby Nathon.
So congratulations to you “Granny” June Potts and best wishes to Mum & Dad and Baby Nathon from all the members at Dunoon Community Radio.

Hello Carol thanks for enquiring about DCR on the ON AIR page.
To answer your questions as briefly as possible –we shall be on air as soon as all the technical things are to Ofcoms satisfaction which shouldn’t be too long, they will then give us a FM signal number and a start date.
It is our intention to have our radio programmes go out on the internet and we indeed hope to have wee samples of some of these programmes available very soon on the website for everyone to listen to. So don’t be a stranger and stay away for too long .
P.S. Have you checked out our friends at DUNOON PEEPS site? http://www.dunoonpeeps.com

Just returned from a great afternoon at UIG HALL where in between rain showers a great time was had by all, the well attended event had the best ever entry for the “MIGHTY EACHAIG CHALLENGE” and possibly the fastest flowing water for a longtime which gave us one of the most spectacular events seen at BENMORE. We will post a wee report and name check some of the supporters of DCR who came to chat with us shortly, in the mean-time WELL DONE to the organises and the skilled safety race people and a big WELL DONE to everyone who came along to support the “MIGHTY EACHAIG CHALLENGE”
