Bungay Half Marathon Fundraiser
Hi folks,
On April 10th 2011, at around 12:30pm, a group of dedicated Future Radio presenters, volunteers and staff will be lacing up their running shoes to puff and pant around a 13 mile course in order to raise much-needed funs for Future Radio and Future Projects. This will be in the form of the annual Bungay Half Marathon, and it will probably be very hard work.
Show your support to the team...
Hello, it’s Laurence Scott here. On my show tonight, the challenge on Laurence vs. Adam is to learn how to yodel and the vintage song comes from Ernie K-Doe.
