Interactivity Update Jan08

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

I’m really starting to get excited about Breakout now - the opportunity to have some many young people together will be great.

On the interactivity team we have been finalising sports and workshops. I thought it would be good to give you a sneak preview before we release full details online of the sports that we will have available. At the moment we are 80% sure we will have Archery, an Inflatable Football Pitch, Grass Boarding (Sounds far too dangerous for me !) and Gravity Boost, a sort of bungee trampoline type thing!

As wel as sports there will be a wide range of workshops to try out (and don’t just think that a workshop means sitting in a classroom and listening - far from it !

Entertainments update

Greetings

Trust this finds you well and having had the sort of Christmas and New Year you had hoped for. For the first time in years we went away for Christmas rather than having family to stay with us, my 2 year old son has certainley worked out the best way to open presents even those that aren’t his!

Anyway to business, by now, you shuld have read that Yfriday have confirmed they will be headlining Breakout 2008. If you haven’t already done so, have a look at the article in the entertainments area of the website. Hopefully we will be recording an interview with them prior to the event which will be available to download and listen to. Yfriday’s website is www.yfriday.co.uk where you can preorder their latest DVD and find out more about the band.

Don’t forget to send your radio show demo to Church House. Doing this, could give you the opportunity to present your own radio show which will be broadcast to the site and the surrounding areas (Sheffield & Chesterfield) This is a fantastic oportunity for anybody wanting a career in media.
If you want to volunteer to be an engineer, rather than a presenter then send me a mail.
For more information about the radio station and how you can be invovled, please look at the radio station section of the website.

Best wishes.

Mark
