The 60 Minute Win ItHi Everyone!

We hope you have all had a great summer! We are really excited about getting back to Nottingham for the start of the academic year 2010/11 and with good reason....URN will be back on air with an exclusive Week One show called "The 60 Minute Win It"!

We will be hosting this special show throughout Week One from 7-8pm: We will have all the information you need concerning Week One nights out, and there will be lots of opportunities for you to get your hands on some massive prizes!

Sound appealing?? Tune in at urn1350.net

Radio clubfoot went on to win “Best Specialist Music Show” and as if mixing with the hoy paloy of BBC Radio at the awards ceremony wasn't enough (not that I'm jealous of course...much), last Sunday they got their shot at national broadcasting by hitting the “6 Mix” on BBC 6 music.

It was my last After Dark show on Monday, and after two years of playing the best local music around I couldn’t just leave without doing something memorable, so I decided it was time to put into action a plan I’d had since last year: would it be possible to get a load of local bands in to write and perform a song from scratch over the course of one show?

With the help of producer Alex and his band Frontiers, we managed to compile a supergroup of Nottingham talent with the aim of not only playing out music from the local scene, but directly contributing to it too.

Day 7:

Having completed all sports competitions the previous day, most of the British spent the day either relaxing by the pool or out in KL.

At 6pm, the Malaysian Tri-Campus Games closing ceremony began. After speeches by the Malaysian campus Vice-Chancellor Ian Ashbee and Games Organiser Nigel Mayglothling, all athletes were presented with their medals. The UK, who won the overall Tournament with a haul of 11 Golds also saw team member Andrew Mitchell (Ultimate Frisbee) collect the Men's Spirit of the Games award.

Second place was occupied by Malaysia, with China finishing third.

Overall, the games had been a privelage to be involved in, offering the opportunity to watch and participate in a wide variety of different sports and of course the chance to visit and experience an altogether different culture. Only one UK University boasts the experience that we have had here and that is the Univerity of Nottingham.

On behalf of all the athletes I'd like to thank organiser Nigel Mayglothling along with his assistants and Malaysian and Chinese counterparts for making this a fantastic experience that I would recommend to any University athlete.

So for the last time, from the Mayalsia 2010 Tri-Campus Games, I wish you well.
