Calling all URB / Bailrigg FM alumni!

This section of the site is devoted to the many people who have passed through the hallowed halls of the URB / Bailrigg FM facility over the years. Many have gone into radio orientated professions, which others have ventured into a whole spectrum of careers.

Despite the numbers of past URB / Bailrigg FM members who are out and about in the big, wide world, we're in touch with very few of them, and the present radio station exec would like to put that right. There are also noticable gaps in the archives of the station history, which we'd dearly like to fill and passdown to future members.

So if you were once a member of station, in any capacity and at any time, do get in touch with us. We'd really like to know any information you recall from your time at the station: who was on the exec, what special events did you organise, what went right or wrong; to give just some examples.

E-mail us at: alumni@bailriggfm.co.uk

We look forward to hearing from you!
