From the archives...
In June 2009 We cleared out a storage cupboard in our studio complex, with the intention of turning it into a new server room for the 24 hour project as it neared completion. During the the clear out, we discovered a folder of old press cuttings, mostly from about 1980 to 1985. The press cuttings looked to be in a sorry state, so the decission was taken to scan them to preserve them digitally forever.
Having scanned them and lifted all of the text from the pages, is wasn't much more effort to put them on the website. So here is a little look into the past at Epsom Hospital Radio, or Radio EDH as it was then known, and how previous volunteers recuited volunteers and raised money.
Here are some old press cuttings from various local newspapers about Epsom Hospital Radio's Outside Broadcasts and fundraising activities from the past. There are many more articles on the History and Becomes A Presenter / Donate pages of this website, where the subject of events and outside broadcasts comes up in an article about our radio station.
In a few lines
Epsom District Hospital Radio organised their first outside broadcasts this holiday. They were a carol concert relayed direct from the hospital chapel and a Christmas morning party live from Ebbisham ward.
Patients took part in the carols as the order of service was distributed round the wards beforehand so they could sing with staff and friends. It was led by hospital chaplain the Rev. Stephen Knight and organised by Sister Monica Simpson of the Christian Fellowship.
Joy Waves
Airs of joy drifted from Epsom District Hospital.
Radio E.D.H., the hospital's own radio station, made its first outside broadcasts over Christmas with a Carol concert and a party live from Ebbisham ward.
The Carol Concert was broadcast direct from the hospital chapel and was led by chaplin, the Rev. Stephen Knight.
Anyone interested in joining Radio E.D.H. should write to them at Epsom District Hospital, Dorking Road, marking the envelope "application".
