Rachel Sloane from BBC Radio Suffolk is writing and producing a one hour programme about World War One, using letters, books, diary entries and newspaper reports of the time. She would really like to have five or six of our members to read some of the words. Would you be able to volunteer to help please?
Rachel said in her note to us:
We would record them at BBC Radio Suffolk in Ipswich in the early evening . (We would need to all assemble at the same time though or it is too complicated!) I need to do it in the next two weeks as the programme is to be broadcast in early August and needs to be edited together.
Please could you let me know as soon as possible if you like the idea as I will have to try another youth organisation if not, and time is running out.
They are very short extracts - I need three young men and two ( or three) young women, of ages around late teens or early twenties. ( I am also recording soldiers based in Suffolk, WI members, school children etc). They need not all be scouts as far as I am concerned, if someone wants to bring a girlfriend as a "voice".
Matt Gilbert, Network Commissioner, is co-ordinating a response for Suffok Scouts, so please contact him in the first place - as soon as you can!
