Midsummer Radio Home

In 1994 another Midsummer Radio RSL took place in Cambridge, this time a Rock format was adopted playing current tracks along with familiar rock classics. Again all proceeds went to the Childrens Hospice(£1,200) along with an awareness campaign.

We have let the pictures tell the story here. It was a happy and unforgettable time for those involved, and enjoyed by our many listeners.

An enormous amount of hard work and planning went into these trial broadcasts and even more was to come...........
