I've cracked it

I have finally cracked the code. Meaning I have managed to decipher my scribble from Peter's training!

NCBF gala day

Wow! What a great day we had at this year's NCBF gala day in Sunderland. Interviews galore - Geraldine McCaughrean, Robert Crowther and the mayor of Sunderland, plus anyone willing to talk to us. People were really friendly and didn't seem to mind having a microphone pointed at them. If you haven't been to the NCBF gala day in any of its last 24 years we really recommend you go to next year's, and there might be someone there to interview you! Podcasts available soon - where you can find out what Geraldine McCaughrean's favourite fact about J M Barrie is, and what the hardest thing is about being a mayor.

A big thanks to Jo, Steph, Miranda and Lynn on the day for all your technical support - it was great fun working with you.

Northern Children's Book Festival Preparations

The Newcastle Club are meeting this afternoon to prepare for their visit to this year's NCBF gala day in Sunderland. We'll be preparing questions to ask the authors (and hopefully the mayor of Sunderland), a footballer and the NCBF organiser! We might even have the mikes turned onto us by the visiting press. Anything could happen, but we're really excited about the visit and can't wait to go.

Robert Westall's Garmouth - Radio Documentary

Produced by Neil Reynolds, a local student mastering in radio production, the piece is available as a download/podcast.
