[nigel leyland]

Thought I'd post this here as it will be available to the majority of forum users and visitors.....



Please post any Media links here for the perusal by all, Radio, TV, National and Local Press, etc......I'll be adding as I'm made aware of them.

Some of those links a cracking results - well done to those who managed to get the coverage.



Just a thought though. There's several links to iPlayer. Don't the programs disappear forever after a week or so??



Do we need to get official copies/downloads or something so that we can keep an archive for the website??

[TimChilde]

You might want to check about copyrights.......you can't be too careful.



However, I can't think they'll mind if asked.

[stephendrabble]

we are linking to there site so i cant see any problem.

[MattIOM]

We're not officially off the ground yet but:

To archive any audio bits that may vanish with time, try downloading AUDACITY. It basically records whatever sound is coming thru the PC & you then get to save the recorded track in your chosen format. You can then upload & host in the normal way.



Dont ask me about the legal side - I have no idea (or interest!)

[mark avo]

just to proove it still works.....



Nice wrap up at the end from the presenter.



Russ Brown of BHC4x4RESPONSE on BBC Three Counties today ( 8th Jan 2010)

[TimChilde]

well done,

not many groups get press coverage even before being formally formed :)







We've been put on standby before we've been formed - is that a record (probably not) ;)

[nigel leyland]

Quite possibly..........



Getting press coverage is not so easy normally, but when you do get some it tends to come in waves with everyone wanting a piece of the action.



So while it's topical and the media can't get enough....grab it, all if it, as often as you can :D



We've had the BBC out again today and I believe it's scheduled to be aired on Monday eve, I'll try and find a link and post it.



Oh, and make sure you get a release out to the 4x4 mags, any 4x4 mags........potential members read them don't cha know!!!!



In the meantime, I believe YL have had a TV item on the news, but I know no more than that, maybe one of the group could post a link?

[mark avo]

Oh, and make sure you get a release out to the 4x4 mags, any 4x4 mags........potential members read them don't cha know!!!!





Would it not be a good idea for someone to write a big 4 page National artice for the LR & 4x4 mags ( or maybe a couple so you could sell tem as exclusive) , mentioning the callouts from all the groups.



It would save local groups from all writing articles then competeing for space with each other & should make us look far more organised - impressive etc etc

[dave-freeman]

While it's not quite along the same lines as most of the other media links here, we've had an appearance in the Lancaster and Morecambe Citizen. Only a recruitment ad really. Should be appearing in the Westmoreland Gazette too.

any news on how the wedding went...



just to finish off the story??

[nigel leyland]

I had meant to ask if there was any info but have been a tad busy and just didn't get round to it when I got the chance to update our current status on the phone....I do know we did'nt need to send a wedding car so presumably the limo got through :D



I'll ask online tomorrow if we have any news on the happy couple and post on if I find anything out....think we have the brides sister on facebook... :D
