18th July 24 ~ AGM News :
Last week we held our AGM, where we looked back on all the hard work we have undertaken in the past 12 months. We also elected our Executive Committee for the next 12 months who have all vowed to continue making the station the best it can.
After the meeting we were joined by some wonderful guests, from the hospital, the wider Harlow community and some previous presenters who are always welcome back to the station.
We were also delighted to welcome our very first Patron, Ray Clark (along with wife Shelley) who treated us to an amazing talk about his journey on the radio. From listening to Radio Caroline when the station first started, to presenting shows on BBC Radio Essex, with lots of twists and turns in between.
It was a very enjoyable evening, thank you to all who attended.

—————————————————————————————————————–HHR Variety Show
After a prolonged absence, thanks to the pandemic, HHR’s popular Variety show returned to Old Harlow’s Victoria Hall Theatre on the 3rd of February. Music, Magic, Street Dance, Comedy and the usual fooling around kept a sold-out audience entertained on a cold Saturday night, as well as raising vital funds towards HHR’s ever present overheads.
The pictures below are from the rehearsal on the Saturday afternoon, and given some of the costumes that appeared for the evening performance, possibly the better advertisement!
All of the performers appeared without charge, and we thank them for their support. You’ll hear some of them soon on the radio as they come in to be interviewed by our team.
