Letters of thanks....
5 December 2011
What can I say, but a
HUGE “Thank You”, once again, for all your help at the
Victorian Fayre. We could not have done it without you
and your team. I do believe that we had the highest
number of visitors ever to the fayre this year. A lot
of that can be attributed to THE EYE for all your hard
work in promoting it prior to the event.

"This is the first famine in a
century that should never have known
famine. Thousands
of people have already died and
millions are on the edge of
survival. The most vulnerable
are the children and the
elderly.
"Yet a little money makes a real
difference to these
precarious lives, which is why
the Disasters Emergency
Committee warmly supports
the all-day East Africa
Crisis Appeal by 103 The Eye
on Saturday 30 July. Thank
you and your listeners for
helping those in so much need."

Communications Manager

May I thank you as Egerton Ward Councillor and also on
behalf of the RAGE (Residents' Action Group Egerton)
community group for the wonderful support your station
has given us over the past year, and in particular for
the excellent advertising of our latest Open Garage
community scheme. With your help, the recycling scheme
has got off to an excellent start and I'm sure will not
only prove of great benefit to the local community but
will greatly help with the reduction in 'fly tipping'
we're hoping to achieve.
Many, many
thanks.
Trevor Moncrieff
Melton Borough Councillor - Egerton Ward
We would like to express our grateful appreciation to
103 The Eye for its kind support of our recent Christmas
tree festival. Not only did you sponsor a Christmas tree
but you gave excellent coverage of the event, giving us
very welcome publicity. In particular, we should like to
thank your reporter, Christine, for the time she
spent inspecting the trees so that these could be
described in detail, and for interviewing our rector. As
you are aware, the primary purpose of the festival was
for us to work with the community for the benefit of the
Parish Church which has been part of that community for
many hundreds of years and its Parish Hall, itself a
much-used community facility. Your support was a good
example of the type of partnership we enjoyed with many
other commercial and charitable organisations. we are
pleased to report that the festival raised in the region
of £4,200.

and Chris Page

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all at 103 The Eye
for your amazing support for the Connexions Compass
Event. I know a lot of the young people who visited were
fascinated with your exhibition.
Please pass on our thanks to Norman, Tag, Jon and
everybody who gave up their time to help us out.
We really appreciate your support.
Regards, Clive Newman
Connexions - Melton and South Charnwood
Thanks for giving a shout out on the radio for our
charity arts and crafts day. The publicity was
marvellous - people kept hearing the event mentioned -
and it was well attended with the church full. The day
raised a good amount for the RAINBOWS Children's
Hospice. I've let people know you're on the air and you
now have some extra listeners.
Jackie Wallace, Garthorpe
We
just wanted to say thanks for coming to our school fair
on 19th June. We thought you did a great job and we had
a very successful day. Thanks again

Thanks for
coming and supporting our first ever Summer Fete. Your
presence helped create a party ambiance and enabled it
to be an enjoyable experience for all those who came.
Kind regards

Many
thanks for your help with publicity for our concert. The audience really
enjoyed their world tour in music - despite it being a hot and sticky
night. We shall be sending LOROS £528. Thanks again for your support.

Thank you for the opportunity to promote Compost Awareness week
recently. Janet and I really enjoyed the experience and were
made to feel very welcome and relaxed by your team. We were able to
make the case for home composting as the greenest way of disposing
of kitchen and garden waste and to talk about the work of
Leicestershire volunteer Master Composters.
I have been looking for some time for a regular radio slot to talk
about green issues including composting, recycling and all household
waste reduction methods - what's new, seasonal ideas, answering
questions etc. This subject usually does provoke a lot of interest
in the community. I would be happy to come over to the
studio say once a month if you think it might be useful.
We
also gained a fascinating insight into community radio and the great
work that you do. Thanks again.
David Cannon, Leicestershire Master Composter
Thank
you to 103 The Eye for inviting me into the studio on Sunday
February 21st to talk about my life in, and involvement with
Barnardo's, prior to my talk at Sage Cross Methodist church the
following week.
I was
made to feel very welcome by all concerned and found it a relaxing
and laid back experience.
I am
always happy to talk to any club, organization or individual about
Barnardo's as it is vital that the charity are kept in the public
eye because the work Barnardo's do to help families and their
children is a vital service in the community.
Once
again, a big thank you.
Alan
Dearman
(Member of Barnardo National Council)
I write to
thank radio 103 The Eye very much for sending along Ian Bott and
James Hall to record Ian’s Sunday evening show at Old Dalby Village
Hall during ‘Sunday Sizzle’ breakfast on Sunday 28th
February.
What a
novelty, the hall was full, the presenters entertaining, the food
fantastic! and to top all that we raised £170 for British Heart
Foundation.
Once again
a big Thank You!
Clare Wright
- Chair Old Dalby Village Hall Committee
I have just got
a new internet radio and tuned to The Eye. Please pass on
congratulations to whoever came up with the Sunday afternoon format.
I do not know the name of the lady on the show. I
did hear her say she was sitting in for someone who was snowed in, but I
guess the format would have been the same anyhow. I liked the feature on
the Mayor's concert - that was REAL COMMUNITY RADIO.
Now I've got The Eye on the
memo I will have to listen to the Drivetime Jock - I heard he is quite
good ! My wife and I have both enjoyed the refreshing change to the
bland pop/rap that most of the others put out. Once again tell them well
done.
Regards Mick Pell
THANK YOU 103 THE EYE FOR

Sherard Primary Carol Concert
Thank you very much for
broadcasting some of this concert. It was a lovely performance and I know
the children had worked very hard to learn the songs.
Thanks to all those who put so
much work in to enable the concert to go ahead.
Regards,
Tiffany Smith-Cameron
Parent Governor
I really enjoyed my week at The
Eye and I enjoyed it so much that I hope to come back. Everyone I met over
the week was really welcoming and on the Friday I was really sad to leave.
I learnt so much about the technical side
of a radio station and the presenting and I think that this experience has
been very valuable for me. It was definitely worth the effort of finding my
own placement because I have had the best time and will always remember this
week. I do hope that I will return because it really was so much fun.
So thank you to all the team at 103
The Eye for making this experience so enjoyable but especially Christine who
has taught me a lot to do with journalism and for organising so many
interesting activities for me to take part in.
Kitty Broome - Belvoir High School,
Bottesford
(student on work experience)
Thank you for the opportunity
to read some of my poems on air a week last Sunday. After the initial
nervousness, I quite enjoyed myself, I hope your listeners did too.
Please pass on my thanks to
Patrick and Jerry, who made the whole experience less frightening because of
their friendliness.
I would like to take you
up on your offer to record some more, as mentioned by yourself, and look
forward to hearing from you.
Regards, Jill Palmer
Many thanks
for interviewing me on the radio to promote our charity event. Just to give you
an update on the Barcelona
bangers launch party. The night was a fantastic success for all involved and in
total we raised £1500 for LOROS (the Leicestershire Hospice). The auction alone
made £750.
Not only did
we have people come to the event directly from the interview, but we also sold
the auction lot you offered of an hour on the radio for £65 – all of which goes
to LOROS.
This thanks
comes from all of the Magnificent 7 Team. Keep up the good work!
Scott Topliss
I
listened to your recording of the Town Estate Band
Concert on The Eye on Sunday morning. The recording
was very professional and entertaining and brought
the whole event back to life!
Several people who missed the actual concert said
how nice it was to hear a recording of the event,
and that it was truly a service for the local
community - well done.
Please carry on providing this extremely useful and
entertaining Community Radio Station.

The return of this year’s
Melton Mowbray Country Fair was boosted by the help of
presenters and staff at 103 The Eye who supported the
Fair by providing on site commentary at the event. A
host of presenters kept visitors informed and amused
throughout the day which helped the event go with a
swing. Our thanks for the on-air and website publicity
given to the event. This publicity has helped to put the
fair back on the Melton Events calendar.
Plans
for next year are already underway and we hope that more
local groups, craftworkers, entertainers and local food
producers will want to get involved. Many thanks 103 the
Eye!

Hooper - Co-ordinator Leicestershire Food Links
Thank you for your assistance.
I came onto your community
programme to talk about the Special Constables and a recruitment
event we were holding at the Local Police Station. From all the
publicity and support we have received we had a very successful
event and exceeded our expectations,
Thank you to 103 The Eye for
helping Melton Police achieve its goals.
Police Sergeant Joanne Hodson
Please can I say a big thank you to all of The Eye team for
advertising my village barn dance all of last week. It took place on
Saturday 1st November and was a great success.

repair fund. Thanks to all who attended. - RIKY FENTON

"On behalf
of the Open Day Working Group at Brooksby Melton College, I would like to
thank 103 The Eye FM for attending and staging the live broadcast from the
event. Students, staff and visitors enjoyed seeing a live broadcast,
especially as it was delivered from the Old Hall where there was a constant
stream of visitors enjoying gourmet coffee and cakes.
"The whole live broadcast was professionally delivered and I do hope that
your audience enjoyed the event commentary as much as we did giving the live
interviews across a whole range of subject areas. It was also a great
opportunity for some of our students to be interviewed and for them to have
the chance of sharing some of the exciting things which they’d been involved
with on the day.
"It is a credit to the radio station the professionalism of the presenters
as I know the day was very tiring as it required a high level of
concentration."
Jane Lloyd, Marketing and External Liaison Co-ordinator.

"I would just
like to thank all the volunteers at 103 The Eye for your help towards my
dissertation. As I am sure you are aware this is a major part of my BA (Hons)
Media & Communications degree at Birmingham City University and the help
from 103 The Eye has proven extremely useful and interesting within my
research of Community Radio.
After
completing my dissertation I have now received my grades and will be
graduating with a 1st Class Honours degree.
Once again many thanks to all the team who contributed towards my research
and good luck with all the broadcasting, training, fund raising etc in the
future.
Kind Regards,

Festival Committee, and indeed the villagers of Wymondham, I would like to
say a big 'thank you' to you and the 103 team for attending our event and
hosting the proceedings. The service you give to events in a small
rural community such as ours is integral to their success and fund raising
and the day was indeed a success !
"We would certainly support you in
any bids for sponsorship or funding by way of testimony to the valuable
contribution you make to the Melton Borough. Thank you again and

I would just like
to thank you all for giving out on air the details for the Old
Melton evening which took place tonight. We were delighted that we
had 55 people attending including lots of visitors. Several of them
told me they had heard it on Melton Eye radio, so I thought it would
be encouraging for you to know that fact!
Many thanks for
your help. Kind regards.

Hi 103, Just want to thank you for coming down to our Family Day on
Sunday. We had 130 people on the day and everyone had a good time.
In fact, one of the happy cricketers said he hasn't laughed so much
in years.
The Challenge Cup was presented to Waltham Cricket Club who
accumulated 92 points on the day beating Melton Mowbray Cricket Club
by 20 points.
The day has raised approx £600 towards our junior team project for
the coming years. Peter Hood - Melton
