Well, what can I say about yesterday's meeting? Personally, I thought it was great and I'd like to thank everyone for turning up and taking such an interest. For those who couldn't make it, we had a fascinating talk from a local radio station, Crossrhythms - you'll find them on 101.8fm if you want to listen. We're building links wiht them because they're very community focussed and are running a City Focus campaign, which in May this year will be looking at mental health issues and interviewing some of our members. The speaker, Crossrhythms' Jonathan Bellamy was a very amenable fellow, answered our many questions and was a very nice kind of fellow who showed a real interest in who we are and what we do and even ended up offering us a tour of their studios. We learned about how the radio station is funded and heard about how they go about getting a licence to go on air, how they pick their stories and got the general feeling that although they come from a Christian viewpoint, the radio station is very inclusive and in fact welcoming of everybody. I think I speak for everyone when I say thanks again to Jonathan for giving us such an entertaining talk and spending time getting to know us - he's more than welcome to our offices any time in the future.
We have another talk in a few weeks - this time from Radio Stoke. I only hope they can be as informative and open as Jonathan was. It's well worth coming along as it's an insight into the world of journalism that most people don't get to see.
Aside from all the excitement, we're also looking for articles for our next Talkbank Times, which is due out around April time. So anyone with any inspiration or ideas or who wants to contribute in any way would be most welcome. See you 11am on Monday.
All the best, folks
Shirley

Warm greetings to Shirley, Amanda M., Amanda C. and to all the positve people at Talkbank. How y'all doin'?
Yes indeed, that was a very informative meeting on Monday. A big 'thanks dude' to Jonathan Bellamy from Crossrhythms radio. He was most informative.
As I have mentioned before, I will endeavour to become more involved. I embrace a positive ethos in a safe, warm environment. I am confident that the positive ethos of Talkbank will become even stronger. It will be my honour to hopefully become an integral member.
Kind regards to you all, keep up the good work. Keep smiling, stay positive.
