Funny How Tempus Just Fugits Right On Away

Busy week on the RFM forward organising front. The first round of emails has gone out to all previous presenters and interested parties, asking all who wish so to declare an interest for the 2008 Rocket season. And a steady flow of replies is trundling back. It certainly seems we won't be short of bodies to fill the schedule. Work has also continued on finding and signing up advertisers and sponsors - the DG and Radio Caro have been actively active on this front. Dino has this very day been fitted with enhanced audio editing capabilities, following on from his successful Ad-producing endeavours in '07. Ruth is assembling Lewes's great and good in an orderly queue outside the RFM Global Broadcast Complex, ready to appear as guests on the Deeby R.O morning show. And 'Wires' Reeve is presently in a holding pattern over Shoreham, concocting ever-stranger schemes to electrify and automate everything in the studio, particularly one or two of the presenters.

Latest: DG & PF yesterday visited the premises of Uckfield FM. Clearly the disguises worked, and they have returned to tell the tale . . .

Societies Fair July 2008

Here is a slideshow from the Societies Fair '08.

Societies Fair '08

Rocketeers manned the Rocket stand at the town hall in Lewes East Sussex England on 12 July for the Societies Fair; over forty societies were there..not bad for a town of 17,000!

Some useful contacts were made, including two people who want to do a show on Rocket FM, and the Fair raised a considerable sum for a local charity.

Rocket Ru Wins Big In Medicine Hat

RFM stalwart Rupert Lloyd Thomas is hurtling about North America yet again. Latest news is that he's won a large box of spanners in Medicine Hat, Alberta, kid you not. See if it sounds sane to you - check out Rupert's trave(b)logue at:

A Quiz, already.

Rocketeers are busy and talented folk. Lunchingman Steve Pilfold has a videoquiz for us. In case you were missing that music. Watch the yootoob below, then check out www.whereinsussex.org.uk/blog

Rocket Spain

Great to see the new Rocket FM blog!

I was busy sunning myself on the Med in Valencia when the email popped into my inbox... Looking forward to hearing all about the 8th Magical Year!

The Deege's Why-Fi

The Deege is sitting in the splendiferous surroundings of his palace (see the Rocket website - web address below) working out Why to Fi, not to mention how...

Ruth Is Appealing

I have just read that the Rocket blog is now live and some 6 hours ago I was invited to contribute, so here goes...
Being my first entry on a blog I wish I could think of something momentous to say! However I think I am safer sticking to the mundane..

As the interviewee chaser for the Rocket fm Breakfast Show I am already busy chasing down suspects and likely persons for the coming season in October and early November. Dear reader, do you know lots about a (polite, please!) Lewesian topic, or something that Lewes people are talking about at the moment? Would you be able to get up bright and early one autumn morning and visit the compact studio above the St Mary's Social Centre on Christie Road to be interviewed about this? If so why not email me on rok@supanet.com and tell me more?

We Leave Port

July, the good ship Rocket takes a lengthy breath and gathers itself for its eighth season. Rocket's Deege (head of general direction), abetted if not actually goaded by the good Radio Caroline, has indicated that he might smile upon us all if the technological marvellousness apparently referred to as 'an interactive, blog-driven, front-page website panel' were to be brought into being ahead of the 2008 run. And so it is that we find ourselves engaged, to that end, in the manipulation of digits, pixels, and a whole shedload of notional entities.
