Waiheke Radio likes to support local causes, so when Mitch Mullooly came on Island Life to explain the mid-winter dip was a fundraiser for a new ambulance for the island, we had to take the plunge. Since I interviewed Mitch I was the one who drew the short straw. And one of the conditions of my sponsors was that photographic evidence had to be posted on-line. So here goes.

Today's Story Festival Event is confirmed to go ahead at Whakanewha Regioanl Park.  This completely free event is an adventure for children with all sorts of wacky characters.  Follow the road to Rocky Bay and turn off at Gordons Road.  The action should be starting at around ten.  Watcch out for Mr Rat and see what you can do to help the Korimako (Bellbird) raise another brood of chicks.

UPDATE: Monday Story Festival events will go ahead at Whakanewha Regional park as planned.

It was a dark and stormy night  . . .

Well, actually, a dark and stormy Sunday morning. Waiheke Radio is proud to be involved in the Once Upon an Island Festival of Story childrens' story event Artworks with Story. Despite the rain and the wind children will be hearing, experiencing, writing and telling stories throughout Artworks on Sunday from 10am till 1pm.

At Waiheke Radio children will be able to record their stories and station announcements which they'll be able to hear over coming weeks on our childrens' show Mr Fox.

All Sunday Story Festival events are running as scheduled. A call will be made on the Monday events in the morning. Check this site for updates.

Starting this June, tune in every first Saturday of the month 8 till 10pm to, ‘The Jabsco Sessions’ hosted by Jabsco Sounds.
