GB2RS News Sunday the 14th of June 2026 The news headlines: IARU President announced as the keynote speaker for the RSGB 2026 Convention The RSGB has updated its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy Make use of the RSGB Full question bank Four years ago, IARU President Tim Ellam, VE6SH/G4HUA shared his thoughts on the changes and challenges to the amateur service and what the future held for amateur radio. On Saturday the 10th of October 2026, Tim will return to the RSGB Convention and in his presentation he will touch on whether the future turned out as expected! Tim is currently serving his fourth term as IARU President and the RSGB is delighted to welcome him back as the keynote speaker. Buy your ticket for the RSGB Convention by going to rsgb.org/convention  As well as the keynote, the Society has a speaker programme that will bring radio amateurs a wide-ranging selection of lectures. Whether you are keen to enhance your knowledge on propagation, FT8, or you want to learn more on VHF and above, there is something for everyone. You can keep up to date with the latest speakers by visiting the Convention speaker page. The RSGB Convention takes place between the 9th and 11th of October 2026 at Kents Hill Conference Centre in Milton Keynes. The RSGB is committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful and accessible amateur radio community in which all individuals can participate fully and safely. It aims not only to prevent discrimination, but to actively remove barriers to participation, promote equity, and create an environment where diversity is valued and inclusion is embedded in all that we do. The Society reviews all its policies regularly and this week it has published an updated Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policy. The policy has clearer language to explain the responsibilities of Directors, staff, volunteers, RSGB members and affiliated clubs, as well as participants in RSGB events, training, and programmes. The policy also applies to all RSGB platforms and environments. The Society encourages all members and affiliated clubs to read the policy. You can find it on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/policies  The RSGB will review this policy at least annually and monitor its implementation to ensure continuous improvement. In April, the RSGB Exams Team published the entire Full licence exam question bank on the RSGB website. This means that anyone studying for their Full licence has this valuable resource at their fingertips. The interface also allows users to generate their own mock examinations from the question bank. Feedback by radio amateurs has said how useful the resource is and that anyone studying for their exam should take a look. To get started go to rsgb.org/exam-questions  The RSGB Examinations Standards Committee has also prepared some FAQs to support the publication of the question bank. You can access these on the Exam FAQs web page. Have you seen the ‘About the RSGB' playlist on the Society's YouTube channel? There are nearly 50 videos to choose from including a number of recently released videos with RSGB representatives. You'll be able watch RSGB Propagation Studies Committee Chair Steve Nichols, G0KYA talk about a range of propagation topics including the best months for propagation and the possible effect of AI on propagation forecasts. If you'd like to learn more about the work of the RSGB EMC Committee, you can watch Committee Chair John Rogers, M0JAV discuss some of the upcoming projects it has planned.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 11th of June 2026 Last week we warned you about a potential geomagnetic disturbance caused by a triple coronal mass ejection, or CME, from the Sun. As it turned out, the Kp index rose to 6.33 and poor HF conditions ensued, just in time for RSGB National Field Day. Luckily, Sunday the 7th wasn't quite so bad, but it did show how a Kp index rise can damage HF propagation. A further CME warning has since been cancelled, but we are not out of the woods just yet. A long-duration mid-level C-Flare was observed in the northeast quadrant of the Sun, peaking at just after midnight on Thursday the 11th of June. A CME with a possible Earth-directed component is possible, which could lead to a Kp index rise. Meanwhile, the solar flux index declined to 124 on Thursday the 11th, as predicted, but that's still enough for some DX potential. Sporadic-E has been providing lots of entertainment, so make the most of it during June, which is one of the best months for Sporadic-E activity. Settled geomagnetic conditions, with a low Kp index, appear to provide the best time for Sporadic-E. DX to be worked this week includes 5Z4/MM0ZBH in Kenya which is active until the 15th of June. The station has been spotted on the 10m band using FT8 and on the 20m band using CW and SSB. PJ2/PH2M is active from Curacao until the 29th of June using mainly FT8 and some SSB. D4OL from Cape Verde is active on FT8 and FT4 until Friday the 22nd of June. Finally, look out for the FS/K9EL station from St Martin which is active until Wednesday the 24th of June. While we are in this period of Summer thunderstorms, a reminder that it may be a good idea to unplug the antennas from your HF radios when not in use. But make sure you do this before any storm approaches! Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will be in the 120 to 130 range. Quiet geomagnetic conditions are forecast all week, with a maximum Kp index of 3. But be aware of CMEs which are not easily predicted. Any solar flare and subsequent CME could upset the apple cart, so keep an eye on solarham.com for up-to-date news. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO There have been some very good Sporadic-E conditions recently. This was particularly true at 50MHz with openings at lunchtime and into the evening towards the USA on Tuesday the 9th and Wednesday the 10th. There was also an opening into Japan during the morning of Thursday the 11th of June. 70MHz has seen openings, mainly to eastern Europe and Spain. Notably we haven't seen much in the way of 144MHz Sporadic-E yet, but QSOs have been made by a lucky few. All this Sporadic-E activity has probably been aided by the extra long-lived metallic ions from meteors of the daytime Arietids, an important shower in early June.  The other ingredient often associated with Sporadic-E is the presence of jet streams, which are very effective at generating turbulence that can propagate up to the E region and aid Sporadic-E formation. The coming week looks to be reasonably set up with jet stream activity. This is probably more relevant for the northern half of Europe so may favour Scandinavia and the Baltic, with the occasional opportunity farther south. As for meteor scatter, there is a gap in the calendar and it's probably a case of relying upon random activity which tends to peak around dawn. Rain scatter may fare better with a chance of showers, especially in northern parts of the country. The solar conditions have recently been at the low end of the scale, with a Kp index between 1 and 3 which is typical of high summer. This also reduces the chances of radio auroras. There will be a period of high pressure today, the 14th, before low pressure returns to northern Britain next week, although the south may stay close to higher pressure. This offers a chance of some tropo conditions. EME now, and Moon declination continues to increase to a maximum tomorrow, the 15th, with path losses falling towards minimum at perigee. 144MHz sky temperature is moderate, becoming high tomorrow, the 15th, with the Sun close to the Moon, before falling back to low again from Wednesday. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Briser les barrières de la recherche pour mieux protéger les côtes mauriciennes. À Tamarin, un appel fort a été lancé en faveur d'une démocratisation des sciences marines. Murali Krishna Appandi, de l'ONG SaveTheBlu, estime que le savoir scientifique ne doit pas rester limité aux laboratoires, mais être partagé avec ceux qui vivent au quotidien des ressources marines. Ce message a été au cœur d'un congrès organisé ce jeudi au Village Hall de Tamarin, réunissant scientifiques, pêcheurs et opérateurs maritimes. L'objectif était de promouvoir une approche participative et citoyenne des sciences marines, en valorisant davantage les connaissances du terrain et les savoirs locaux afin de mieux protéger le littoral mauricien. Intervenant par visioconférence, le spécialiste français des cachalots, le Dr François Sarano de Longitude 181, a également expliqué pourquoi la présence de bateaux à proximité de ces mammifères marins représente une nuisance pour leur bien-être.

For 11 years, she navigated village forestry Jennifer Zwarich has had a thing for trees for a long time. "I've always been a tree person, although I'm not a tree hugger, exactly," she said. "I was a tree climber as a kid and trees always made me feel small in a good way." On Arbor Day (April 25), Zwarich stepped down as chair of the Cold Spring Tree Advisory Board, a role she took on before the panel was created 11 years ago. In 2012, a handful of volunteers formed the Shady Lane Campaign to tend to village-owned trees. A year later, the Village Board appointed an ad hoc committee to investigate whether a tree board and local tree law were needed. When Zwarich wrote Mary Saari, then the village clerk, to volunteer, Saari replied, "Would you like to chair the committee?" Zwarich soon learned that even tree care can become political. What was supposed to be four quick meetings and a recommendation to the Village Board became much more. A session at Butterfield library drew a passionate crowd. Some vehemently opposed forming a committee. "It was baffling to me," Zwarich recalled. A subsequent meeting at Village Hall also got boisterous. "About 30 people fought for almost an hour over whether to call it a board, a committee or a commission," Zwarich said. (She says now that "board" was the right choice because it carries weight and helped her secure nearly $100,000 in grants.) Looking back, she feels some who opposed the committee felt it would be another layer of government, taking money from the budget. There was also concern that a tree law could infringe on private property rights, although the board only deals with village-owned trees. After the dust settled in 2015, the board added "Chapter 122: Trees" to the Village Code, and a Tree Advisory Board was established, with Zwarich as chair. An initial survey found the village owned about 500 trees, she said. "Our goal was to plant many more trees than we were losing," she said. Since the board was created, volunteers and Highway Department staff have planted about 230 trees, and 592 have been inventoried by species (72) and condition. Zwarich said that while residents seem to love them or hate them, the Main Street tree pits were her favorite project. "They have improved the health of a lot of trees," she said, although some need weeding. She views that as "an invitation for volunteer-minded people and businesses to get involved."

"The sidewalk strip is not a place for trees; they're growing in awful conditions most of the time and getting peed on," she said. In addition, many side streets lack tree cover because there's no space to plant on village property. "The oldest trees are all on private property, where they have more rooting space," she said. Zwarich noted that in some places, such as Rhinebeck, the municipality donates and maintains trees near sidewalks that are on private property. "I don't know if it would fly here, but that's the next frontier," she said. She believes most people know trees are good for the environment, giving off oxygen, taking in carbon dioxide and reducing pollution. But she said the economic benefits are overlooked. "Shading your house can reduce your summer electrical bill, and the increase in property values by having trees around your house or in your neighborhood is huge." She said that when the tree committee was created, the village forest lacked diversity, including an overabundance of Norway maples, which grow fast. "They ended up being a real problem," Zwarich said. "They're weak-wooded and brittle and shed branches during storms," creating ...

It’s good news from Stroud Village Hall, now covering its costs, a vital task to keep the Hall at the centre of the community. Hall Manager Katy Lace tells us more about what has been going on, as they prepare for Village Halls week which runs from 16 to 22 March. They also have some new trustees, Heather Coulson and Chris Holt, who talk to Mike Waddington about the role and what it involves for them and why they do it. The Hall, they say, gives a focal point for the community, with lots of classes for all ages, parties, the Stroud Revels (July) and in April, with the Parish Council, the litter pick.

Second public hearing scheduled on parking changes The Cold Spring Village Board, at its Wednesday (Oct. 22) meeting, tabled recommendations from the Planning Board to approve 32 parking waivers for 1 Depot Square and 37 Main St. Since 2010, the board has granted waivers to businesses for $250 each, as payment in lieu of providing the required number of off-street spaces required by the Village Code when parking spaces are unavailable. On Wednesday, Mayor Kathleen Foley questioned the effectiveness of the waivers. "The physical reality of the village is that the parking waivers don't help us," she said. "It's cash in the door, but it doesn't get us closer to solving the (parking) problem." When waivers were initiated 15 years ago, (the first six were issued to Frozenberry, then at 116 Main St., where Angie's is located now), the village population didn't more than double on peak tourist weekends as it does now, she said. At 1 Depot Square, the code requires 14 off-street spots for a planned addition of a 1,250-square-foot event space at the south end of The Depot Restaurant. Angie's Bakery and Café also plans to move and expand at 37 Main St., which would require 18 off-street spots. Both locales are busy sections of the village. Brian Tormey, the owner of 37 Main St., said that while there is space behind the building, it isn't suitable for customer parking for logistical and safety reasons. Greg Pagones, who owns The Depot, said he's been using space owned by Metro-North adjacent to the restaurant for staff parking since 2007 through an informal agreement with the railroad. Pagones said Metro-North indicated several years ago it intended to formally renew the agreement, but that hasn't happened. Foley expressed concern over the lack of a contract with Metro-North. "If we enter an agreement based on the concept that that space is available to you, and a year from now, MTA says, 'Nope, you're out,' we've made decisions about parking based upon space you don't control," she said to Pagones. There was discussion as to whether Depot Square, often described as a private road, is actually a public street, and whether that status would affect off-street parking. Documents related to the street date to the mid-1800s. "There is a public right-of-way that encompasses essentially all of the roadway and the parking on either side," said the Planning Board attorney, Jonathan DeJoy. "On top of that, the street has been used as a public street for decades." The board tabled a decision on the parking waivers pending consultation with the village counsel. "We want to find middle ground that allows entrepreneurial efforts in the village to flourish," balanced with quality of life for residents, Foley said. In a Friday (Oct. 24) email, she described the situation as a quandary. "The practice of parking waivers has kicked the can for new developments down the road for a decade," she wrote. "Now the board has no option but to deal with the reality on the ground, weigh pros and cons, along with property rights, and make the best decision we can for the widest interests of the village. It is by no means a simple question." In other business … A second public hearing will be held on Nov. 12 at Village Hall on proposed changes to Chapter 126 of the Village Code, dealing with vehicles and traffic. The revisions proposed include limiting free parking on the east side of High Street to the section between Haldane Street and Northern Avenue and extending parking limits on both sides of Fair Street to include the section north of Mayor's Park to the village limits. Twenty-four winter parking permits will be available for the municipal lot on Fair Street. Permits cost $40 and are valid from Nov. 15 to April 15.

Stroud Village Hall and Residents Association raised a profit at their Levels festival in July. Overall though they are running at a small financial deficit but Katy Lace, the Manager, says they are whittling it down with community involvement and a fund raiser - a Harvest Hoedown on Friday 3 October. Speaking to Mike Waddington, she talks about what's happening at the Village Hall, and how people can get involved with their activities - sport, kids club, pilates, yoga - as well as volunteering there. Their Harvest Hoedown on Friday 3 October, not only promises a good night out and is also held at an important time in the farming calendar and she relates the help local farms provide them with. Their AGM is on 23 September where they are looking for more trustees and also facing up to the challenge of reducing their small financial deficit.

Welcome back to the Deepdale Podcast, our magazine programme about North Norfolk. It's September 2005, there's a blue sky, it's a beautiful, beautiful day. In this episode, Jason has three lovely chats, with some musicians and some wildlife enthusiasts. Steve and Sam from the Brancaster Staithe Sea Shanty Festival chat about the festival this coming weekend, when the whole of Brancaster Staithe and Burnham Deepdale are filled with shanty bands of all shapes and sizes, singing their hearts out in aid of charity. There are six venues, including The Jolly Sailors, White Horse, Marshside, Village Hall, St Mary's Church and our Brick Barn at Deepdale Camping & Rooms. Cole and Joseph from the India Electric Co, join Jason for a chat ahead of their gig at Deepdale Camping & Rooms on Saturday 27th September. They played at the Deepdale Festival 2023, and went down an absolute storm on the Sunday night. Cole joined Jason back in August 2023 on the podcast, so you may have heard him before, but since then the gents have a new album and have been busy with a whole host of projects. And the third chat is with Lucy and Paul from RSPB Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve. It's a fabulous place, not far from Deepdale, just a couple of villages away. A haven for wildlife and a key site in this beautiful part of the world, where you can see a huge range of habitats in this one place. Spend a few hours walking around and investigating. They run a whole series of events through the year for both those new to birdwatching and those with much more experience. Thank you so much listening to the Deepdale podcast, we really enjoy putting this show together. Please do leave a review on your favourite podcast app or directory, it really helps other people find us, and please do tell your family and friends about us too. This will be the last podcast for the next couple of months, Jason will be back with Chris chatting about their 12 albums for Christmas, as they normally do in the December episode. They so enjoy putting together this magazine programme about the beautiful north Norfolk coast and are glad you enjoy listening to it. See you again in December, in the meantime, if you need to fill your listening ears with more of the beautiful North Norfolk Coast, then do listen back to the back catalogue.

Route 9D to Little Stony Point deemed 'unwalkable' Sidewalks dominated the discussion at the Aug. 13 meeting of the Cold Spring Village Board. Concerns increased recently after a wheelchair-bound village resident tipped over along Morris Avenue/Route 9D near Hamilton Street, at the north end of the village. The incident prompted a meeting at Village Hall at which the state Department of Transportation agreed to allow the village to replace the asphalt sidewalk between Whitehill Place and the Haldane football field. Mayor Kathleen Foley said the project, being implemented "until there is a larger plan for 9D," will cost about $30,000. She said she hopes Putnam County, the Town of Philipstown and the Hudson Highlands Fjord Trail will contribute financially. The work will be done "in kind" by local highway crews. The "larger plan for 9D" relates to HHFT having identified Dockside Park as its preferred southern gateway to the 7.5-mile trail being constructed between Cold Spring and Beacon. Foley and Philipstown Supervisor John Van Tassel have advocated starting the trail at Little Stony Point, with a series of improved sidewalks leading there from the village. The final route is yet to be decided. During the Aug. 13 meeting, the board voted 4-1 to pay Hahn Engineering up to $2,000 to estimate the cost of installing sidewalks on both sides of Route 9D from the northern boundary of the village to the Washburn Trail parking lot opposite Little Stony Point. The cost of the Hahn study will be split with Philipstown. Foley said pedestrians along that route encounter "holes you can put your foot in, up to your ankle" and that foot traffic can be expected to increase as the fall hiking season begins. She noted that from May to July, visits to the Washburn and Cornish trails increased by 6.6 percent over last year. Along the entire corridor, where Breakneck and the Metro-North platform are closed for HHFT construction, usage is down 47 percent. Trustee Aaron Freimark voted against the Hahn study, saying it would be spending village money on an analysis of a sidewalk that's not on village property. Foley responded that the estimate will be used to negotiate sidewalk improvements with the Department of Transportation (DOT), state parks and HHFT. "It is in villagers' best interest to have a sidewalk there," she said. DOT estimates the project, which requires relocating power lines and constructing a retaining wall, will cost $1 million. The Hahn study will fine-tune that estimate. Foley said DOT encouraged Cold Spring and Philipstown to apply jointly for funding through its Transportation Alternatives Program. Trustee Andrew Hall described the study as an "investment to unlock funding to improve the infrastructure of the village." In other action, the board tabled a letter from the mayor addressed to state parks and HHFT about the "not safely walkable" Route 9 approach to Little Stony Point and the Washburn Trail from the village. A new draft will be considered at the Wednesday (Aug. 27) meeting. The Philipstown Town Board approved a similar letter at its Aug. 7 from Van Tassel to state parks, although an accusation that HHFT was "directing the general public to walk along the shoulder of Route 9D" was removed. Board Member Jason Angell noted that advisories to pedestrians about construction-related closures do not use those words, and that other routes are available. Foley reported that a Breakneck Closures Logistics Working Group has been formed with municipal representatives from Cold Spring, Nelsonville and Philipstown, as well as state parks, HHFT and the Haldane school district, which has raised concerns because hiking apps encourage people to park at the school and use the campus as a short cut to trails.

(June 18, 2025) — The Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP), in partnership with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), proudly announces the successful completion of its first ever Small Town Enhancement Grant Program, which invested nearly $90,000 across five rural communities in Clinton, Eaton, and Ingham counties. Launched in early 2024, the program empowered small towns to breathe new life into community spaces that define local identity and economic potential. With projects now complete, the results speak volumes—showcasing how targeted investments can foster pride, encourage gathering, and create lasting impact. “We believe that thriving, beautiful places are a cornerstone of economic growth,” said Bob Trezise, president and CEO of LEAP. “This program proves that with the right support, our small towns can build spaces that preserve their charm while embracing the future.” “Everyone was really excited to hear the bell ring again,” said Becky Austin, Vermontville village clerk when referring to the town's historic bell tower dating back to 1862. “This building has always been a gathering place. It means so much to our community to see it restored and honored.” The project was celebrated with a community ribbon-cutting in November, capping off a journey that began with LEAP's traveling “Small Town Road Show” and check presentation earlier in the summer. Over in Maple Rapids, local favorite Phillips Cider Bar & Pizzeria received a long-overdue facelift, restoring the façade of the 120-year-old building while maintaining its vintage appeal. The revitalization is already helping reenergize the small town's downtown corridor. “We've had people stop by while local contractors were still finishing the job—just to say how excited they were,” said Gregg Smyth, owner of Phillips Cider Bar & Pizzeria. “This grant helped us invest in the town we love. There's new energy here, and it's just the beginning.” The project was unveiled during a November ribbon cutting that drew crowds and cemented the site's renewed role as a centerpiece of the community. Other completed projects include the City of Ovid, which enhanced Main Street with new banners; the City of Leslie, which installed a new community pavilion; and the Village of Stockbridge, where a $25,000 grant transformed a vacant patio area next to Village Hall into a walkable community space designed for relaxation and connection. About LEAP The Lansing Economic Area Partnership (LEAP) is a coalition of area leaders partnering to build a stronger community for all — working every day to grow, retain and attract business to the Lansing, Michigan, region.

At The Bull, Lynda bumps into Lawrence, who's just visited the Lower Loxley VE day exhibition. When Lawrence exclaims it makes him feel proud to be British, Lynda pointedly mentions troops from other countries who also fought in the war. Cutting Lynda off, Lawrence turns the conversation to Reginald Dodge's family, who were also at the exhibition. Lynda's irritated when Lawrence is then rude about the quality of Ambridge's cricket teas, suggesting they need to up their game to rise up his catering league. Later, Lynda makes it clear to Lawrence how she feels about him. She didn't appreciate his advances when they first met, and she won't fraternise with a racist. When Lawrence tries to smooth things over, it's clear Lynda has no time for him. Lilian and Tony try to locate Hilda, who's still missing. Peggy's coming with Christine to the beacon lighting and WI tea later, and will expect a visit with Hilda en route. Lilian and Tony agree to pretend they saw Hilda this morning, but she's now wandered off. At the Village Hall later, Lilian and Tony wonder where Peggy is before Lilian gets a call from The Laurels. Lilian then approaches Tony in tears, telling him Peggy has died peacefully in her chair at the home. As the beacon blazes on Lakey Hill, Lilian, Brian and Tony share their feelings about Peggy. They head off to Peggy's slideshow at the Village Hall, which Lynda has agreed to narrate at the last minute. Tearful Lilian just wishes Peggy was there to watch it with them.

A year and a half ago, Oak Park's architecturally significant Village Hall was headed for demolition. But the building, a modernist structure designed in the mid-1970s by architect Harry Weese, survived that threat. And late last week the village board selected a River North architecture firm to work out a plan for revitalizing the building for long-term use. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

The political power struggle continues in Dolton after Mayor Tiffany Henyard appeared in court seeking to force the village board to hold meetings at Village Hall. The dispute stems from two dueling meetings in two different locations on Oct. 7. Henyard filed a lawsuit following those meetings against several trustees on the village board and on the village's park district, saying meetings should still be held at Village Hall. Trustees pushed back, citing a binding opinion from the Attorney General's Public Access Bureau that directed the village to take measures to make meetings convenient and open to the public, including a demand that meetings be held at a location with enough space to be reasonably accessible.

Max Solomon, Attorney to Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard, joins Lisa Dent to address the latest in the ongoing situation in Dolton with Mayor Henyard, as she is now filing a lawsuit against the Village trustees and administrators that held a meeting outside of Dolton’s Village Hall.

Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard made a late appearance at the Dolton Village Board meeting on Monday night. That meeting was held at the park district building since Village Hall cannot legally accommodate the crowds at a typical meeting. But Henyard tried to hold a separate board meeting at Village Hall anyway. She had to abruptly cancel it after not enough trustees were there. Henyard then drove a few minutes down the road to where trustees were going through the agenda, but was booed out of the room. Trustees continued business, calling out Henyard in the process. The meeting was called to an end soon after.

Fighting and threats erupted at Village Hall in Sauk Village this week—tied to a financial probe in the south suburb. The tension was all captured on video Tuesday night. Village Clerk Marva Campbell-Pruitt and Mayor Derrick Burgess got into a heated exchange right in the middle of a board of trustees meeting. "It just went north," said Sauk Village Trustee Diane Sapp. "I wouldn't say it went south. It went north." "Disgust, disgust," said Trustee Debbie Williams. "It's getting worse every week." Williams and Sapp had a front-row seat Tuesday night. They said village meetings can get heated, but this week, it got to a level they had never seen.

Three trustees from the Village of Dolton called a special meeting on Monday night to try and keep the village running as they deal with embattled Mayor Tiffany Henyard. Trustees who do not support Henyard said she would not allow them to put items on the regular meeting agenda, so they set their own meeting to start before hers. The two contentious meetings were held back to back, starting at 6:15 p.m. at Village Hall. Trustees said Dolton is facing a financial disaster and they blame Henyard for overspending and mismanagement. “There's no more money, anything that we can sell we need to sell it, if you wanna get outside we can sell you too,” trustee Kiana Belcher said.

You may recall that we had the legendary Lucy Jordache on the podcast a while back, and she pointed out that TCD (case in point) has a tendency to be a little bit niche and at times a little bit clique-y.Now we have tried to take her advice onboard, but I suspect Chapter 148 is definitely one for the hardened purple. "How so?" I hear you ask. Well let me give you a few examples..There is quite a bit of early-episode bants that revolves around the ongoing chat amongst the purple supporters.We refer extensively to a purple-only-prawn-cracker snap poll that took place last week.There is news of stealth-purple-only-merch available at PZ.Elitist and clique-y possibly, but fear not non-purples, there is still plenty to keep you amused, including three diary entries, a new 'soldering-iron advice and support lesson with Stephen' and information on how to apply to work in a large fish tank.Love'n'roulette wheels in the headhTCD Merch StoreBecome Purple and support the showThe Invisible Man Volume 1: 1991-1997The Invisible Man Volume2: 1998-2014FacebookInstagramWebsite
