Love Radio? Ever felt you’ve got a lot to say about your life? Or do you just have an enormous record collection that you'd like to share?

Well, this could be just the chance you’ve been waiting for. The Source is a community station that is staffed by volunteer DJs. We offer training for people with all levels of experience from the absolute novice up.

ENTHUSIASM IS ALL YOU NEED!

If it's doing your own show on The Source that interests you, the best place to start is to download the two forms at the bottom of this page, fill them in and boost them back via email: info@thesourcefm.co.uk We are also looking for people to fill other roles such as Studio Managers, Producers, Script Writers and Editors. We aren't looking for people with any previous experience, in fact you could say the opposite was true. We love to train volunteers with no previous experience, all you need to bring is your enthusiasm.

The dates of the next Source FM Introductory Training Sessions are:

Saturday 28th January - Start: 11.00am, Finish: 2.30pm. Location: Source FM Studio

Saturday 4th February - Start: 11.00am, Finish: 2.30pm. Location: Source FM Studio

And a special young persons training day on:

Saturday 11th February - Start: 11.00am, Finish: 2.30pm. Location: Source FM Studio

These sessions introduce you to Source FM and give you the opportunity to have a play with the studio equipment. The sessions are free, but if you go on to develop a show for Source FM you will be expected to join us as a member (see 'Membership Application' below for details). Attendance is by booking only as space is very limited.
