How are things? This past month has been very busy with the preparations for New China's 60th anniversary! At the end of August I interviewed Kevin Macdonald and Willie Armstrong of the The Red Hot Chilli Pipers at the Cowal Games, and featured the interview as part of the PRC's 60th anniv. celebrations on the Hot Pot Show. I also recorded some spicy RHCP ID's for DCR and hope to send them to you soon. All the best Hi to all the DCR Crew! How are things?

The Crowne Cafe Bar was packed every night, with large Q's outside the front door and right up the road. The atmosphere inside the venue was amazing.

DCR TAKING NOTE Also, to help us with research for future planning of DCR we encourage folk to tell us at these meeting about who and what they listen to on the radio. A lot of folk have been telling us recently that they have been listenening a little more to BBC Radio Scotland for "talk' programmes and similarly Radio 4 for the same reason. OFFICIAL AUDIT FIGURES It has been pleasing to note that are observations have been reflected in the findings released recently by the audit body RAJAR, who commented that BBC Radio Scotland has enjoyed a five per cent year-on-year increase in the number of adults it is reaching and Radio 4 had its biggest share ever of listeners in the three months to the end of December 2008. The Today programme had an average weekly audience of 6.6 million listeners, up nearly half a million on the previous three months and its largest audience since the final three months of 2001. Radio 4 which was named station of the year at last year's Sony Radio Awards, has undergone a quiet transformation under controller Mark Damazer, with new voices including Kirsty Young on Desert Island Discs, Jane Garvey on Woman's Hour and Evan Davis on Today. TERRY WOGAN STILL AT TOP BBC Radio 2 also increased its audience in the final three months of last year. Radio 2 Terry Wogan remains the country's most popular breakfast DJ, with an average audience of 7.96 million listeners, up from 7.74 million the previous quarter, and 7.73 million at the end of 2007. Localy Both Clyde 1 and Clyde 2 where also reported to have enjoyed strong year-on-year performances. COWAL HAS FINGER ON PULSE When it comes to things radio, we think the radio listeners of Cowal have defiantly got their finger on the pulse! Perhaps next time some of these national radio stations need a indicator to how they are doing they could do no worse than to give us a quick phone call and we will confer with the good folk of Cowal.

Howzitgoin? Last week I went off on a trip to the city of Handan in China's Hebei Province to attend the Grand Opening Ceremony for the 11th Handan International Taiji Championships. Over 2000 people from all over China and abroad competed at the championships, and it was the first time that I had seen this kind of event! What amazed me about the Taiji competition was that there were competitors as young as 10 years old to 80 years old. I had a great time there, and I also visited many popular tourist attractions in the area including the amazing Hong Ji Chao bridge which was built over 1,400 years ago during the Sui Dyansty and is still in use. I also visited Cingtao Terrace which is actually a small fortress with a large moat around it. It was built over 2,300 years ago, and now stands in the middle of a beautiful park. Hi there folks!

As for Jim Crow suggestions are a coloured minstrel (Jim Crow being the name for a segregation system in the USA), a boy whose father owned a mansion in the area, a shark or a jackdaw.
