Sorry! I thought it was yesterday  

:-X

Quite a few other schools in East Lancashire have done a similar broadcast, and they have all gained from the experience I'm sure. Well done MC.

We had nowt like that in my day....  ;D

I take it "finished at 6pm" means finished permanently. Good. Get the kids back to what they should be doing, i.e. learning. Thats whats schools are for.

If all you trendy do-gooders want the kids to play around on the radio, then buy 'em a CB set or set up a local radio station. But don't do it with my money. Taxes are being wasted on enough drivel without funding this nonsense as well.

Hello!

Sorry couldn't tune in but I have a question: What is Mount Carmel Science College? Is it the new name for the sixth form? As an ex-pupil I am intrigued..... can you let me know Pinky?

Try not to take much notice of tealeaf people. Hes just looking to wind people up.
Its a little bit of envy as they have nothing like this at his school, i think he should be due to leave soon and at 47 years old not a minute too late!!! ;D

Well, thats it, its over  [smiley=bye2.gif]

MCR is gone, and i'll never be a presenter again (unless they do another one). We were all extremely sad, and if you were listening at about 6pm, we all sang 'The time of our lives', all 20 presenters and 10 administrators, in a room 2 square meters big.

In reply to the 'Is Mount Carmel Science College the new name for 6th form', no it isn't. Mount Carmel hasn't had a sixth form since about 1991, all this title does, is shows that we are a school that specializes in the three sciences.

Sorry to say, not as good as The Burn when it was on earlier this year.

Good luck with your application, but I think the Burn will beat you to it.

Their programming in the second stint they did was more 'in tune' with the audience they were aiming at.

Thanks for your good luck message Fangio. Out of interest, did you hear any of The Bee trial broadcasts?
