Radio Gloucester

I am the manager of a local Under 9's football team, the Leckhampton Cougars, one of the parents of the players had asked if a session could be run this Wednesday so that someone from BBC Radio Gloucester could come and get involved and interview me.

It was a glorious evening in Sandford Park and we were present and correct for the 6pm start. David Smith (http://www.bbc.co.uk/gloucestershire/local_radio/profiles/david_smith_feature.shtml) fresh from the afternoon show with his recorder. There was a short interview and then he got involved with the training, partnering with one of the boys as we had an odd number. All in all it went very well.

The interview was part of National Volunteer Week which is this week and the local radio and community projects are trying to drum up interest and support for projects in the community.
