Castle Lighting Competition closes with over 50 entries!
Yep, our fab kids competition to design a new lighting scheme for Egremont’s Norman castle is now closed - and we have had over 50 entries so the competition is tough!
The winner gets their design realised with a professional company over the next year. We’ll be holding an exhibition of all the entries in the town in the next few months so WATCH THIS SPACE for more on that, and a big thankyou to all the young people and their teachers and parents for making the competition such a success!

We have the technology
After a very hard week in small room with lots of cables, Egremont FM went live on time - Friday 16th at 7am - Thanks to all the volunteers especially Barry and Steve for not giving up when the CE staff might have!
We have also managed to get most of the station online so that expat Egremontonians abroad can listen on ‘t’Internet’....
These great pix were taken by County Councillor David Southward MBE - thanks David!

I declare this radio station open!
We had a great station launch on Saturday for Egremont FM - thanks to everyone who came along and supported us, and especially to all our volunteers who helped redecorate and tech up the studio, though there are still a few glitches to iron out before we go live on Friday morning....!
