17th September 2011: Equipment Sale on

Starting today on eBay, we have begun to list some of the obsolete, broken and surplus equipment that we have in our studios.

Over the coming months we hope to auction off as much as we can with the aim of raising funds to upgrade radio studio 2.

Most of the equipment auctioned will be audio and computer parts, so if you are involved with hospital, community or schools radio then check often and save us as a favourite seller to make sure you don't miss any bargains!

We have also registered as a Direct Charity Seller with MissionFish, this means that we don't pay eBay fees and so maximises our fundraising.
