NEWS

KEEP LISTENING

Everyday life has changed very suddenly in the past couple of weeks. Here at Welcombe Radio, we are adapting to the current situation. For the time being, some of our programme-makers are going to continue making their shows whilst others, for understandable reasons, are going to take a break. There may also be some minor interruptions to our output or an occasional drop in sound quality. We apologise in advance for this. However, if you do miss some or all of a programme, please check the full schedule to see when it is repeated.

Chris's Quiz Night

Monday 8.30 - 10.30pm

As you can't go to the pub quiz at the moment, we thought we'd bring the quiz to you! We can't serve you any drinks, and there won't be any prizes, but Chris will still host a fun quiz which is open to everyone. You can email your answers to windmillquiz@gmail.com if you like, or just listen in.

Sunday Service from the Stourdene Benefice 

Sunday 11am & 6pm

The Stourdene Benefice is made up of the six parish churches of Alderminster, Butlers Marston, Ettington, Halford, Newbold-on-Stour and The Pillertons. When lockdown started in March 2020 and our churches closed to public worship, a member of the Benefice suggested an Easter Sunday service in audio form. From this has developed a regular audio service with a core team of five including the rector, and drawing on contributions from across the six parishes. Almost a year on and the audio services still continue to engage with members across the Benefice and beyond and we have discovered that it is in our forced separation that we have had an opportunity to develop togetherness.

Our Benefice website and Facebook page are currently undergoing redevelopment so anyone wishing to discover more about us can contact Jane Evans or Dave Benton via Welcombe Radio.

This Sunday's service is part of a series journeying through Lent looking for Signs of Hope when all seems lost. Listen at 11am and again at 6pm.

Welcome to Welcombe Radio

Simon Morgan

It is with extreme sadness today we are forced to say goodbye to Simon Morgan who was tragically killed in a cycling accident on April 3^rd. To mark his funeral which is today at 12.30pm, and, to pay tribute to his wonderful talent for song writing, we at Welcombe Radio, are playing his album, More Songs About Hospital Food. You can find this album @ bandcamp.com.

He would have been humbled and amazed by all the wonderful personal tributes and messages posted for him.

So, Simon's friends and work colleagues and all those who loved him that can’t be with us due to the present restrictions, Thank you, thank you to CGL and to Chris Jennings for all your love and support.

Love & peace Simon.

We hope you enjoy this album in his honour.
