In December and January, BBC Audio and Music will be opening the doors of its Radio HQs for two evenings of networking and guest speakers.

• 5pm-7.30pm, Thursday 6 December 2012 – New Broadcasting House, London
• 5pm-7.30pm, Wednesday 16 January 2013 – BBC Quay House, MediaCityUK, Salford

Sessions on the evenings are:

• The importance of community radio in the developing world and the work of BBC Media Action
• My journey from community radio to the BBC, from 1Xtra’s newest signing Yasmin Evans
• My radio career – Nihal, BBC Asian Network, London / Mary Anne Hobbs in Salford

As a member of the Community Media Association, we would be delighted if you and your community radio colleagues could attend.

All are welcome, as long as they or their station is a member of the CMA. Station volunteers, presenters, staff, management or just those with an interest in the sector are invited to come along.
