What a fantastic Day at Morrisons as DCR held a bag packing  day to help raise much needed funds and what better  fantastic way of raising funds than to get to meet so many listeners and supporters,  some of who don’t listen yet .

Many supporters cannot listen to DCR 97.4FM as they live out with our broadcast area but visit Dunoon often and are well aware of DCR  some of them have told us they listen in on the internet and it was great to be able to talk to them,

Many presenters will be giving out name checks and playing dedications and request over the next week or so to say thankyou.

We raised over £800 – A Big Big thank you to everyone who gave their change to help us raise this magnificent sum and thank you for your on-going support

DCR Crew at Glenbranter

A walk around the the Haunted Wood at the Glenbranter Halloween Forest Event Left many an adult shaking in their Boots but the children just thought it was just great and “can we walk around again please!” was the cry

The illuminated woods was the perfect theme for an Halloween Happening with Fire flaming Dragons who’s only visible evidence was the burning trees from their flaming breath  and their mighty roars which  which filled the air. The cries of Vampire Wolves could be heard from deep in the woods and some folk swear that through the darkened woods you could occasionally see their flashing eyes.

There was plenty to keep young and old occupied including  a Spiders Lair if you were brave enough to enter  to lots of party games in the Big shed which was decorated with glowing hollowed out and carved Pumpkins Games included big barrels of water with hundreds of floating apples to lovely sweetie things dangling from strings.

Photographs of all those who had arrived in fancy dress were taken to be entered into the Fancy Dress Competition winning entries included a Grandfathers Clock an Alien………more to follow

Enjoying the Activities at Glenbranter

Pink Party 2011

On Saturday night a fun loving group of ladies filled the function room above SINBADS for the fourth Annual Pink Party to raise funds In aid of Breast Cancer Care. As in previous years the ladies came out to Party and with every one dressed with Pink and with wigs galore that’s certainly what they did dancing away to the music provided by Dunoon Community Radio.

MC for the night the PP team leader Helen did her best to slow down the proceeding occasionally by introducing raffle draws and even a couple of hilarious games of Stand Up Bingo. PP team member Fiona organised a wee buffet for an energy boost for any of the ladies who had started to struggle with the moves for the “Time Warp” or “Y.M.C.A.”

As MC Helen mentioned in her Thank You and acknowledgements the event could not have happened without all who helped organised it, for Sinbads and their wonderful staff, All the local folk and commerce for the wonderful donations for the Raffle and Tom bowler and of course all the Ladies for coming out and supporting the event and for helping to raise over £800 on the night this of course to be added to the £600 raised at the recent sale held in Sinbads………… Photo’s to follow
