I met lots of people during my time with Beartown Radio. I did promise myself that I wouldn’t try and name everyone because I’d bound to miss some out and, maybe, upset some really nice, kind people.

So apart from the wonderful people of the Congleton Chronicle, Congleton Partnership, Congleton Community Projects, Electric Picture House, Congleton Town Council, Cheshire East Council, advertisers and anyone else who supported us, my wife, who supported ME, and our landlord, who had the patience of a saint.

Not forgetting all of Beartown Radio’s wonderful, talented presenters, and trainers, who gave their time totally free, I’ve seen these people grow and develop their skills.

Not just radio skills but personal life skills as well.

I’ve seen both young and, shall we say not so young, walk into the studio with a dream and walk out again, a different person with a fine memory, and a personal skill.

I am proud of you all, and thank YOU for helping ME to achieve MY dream.
