New Programmes from Wrexham FM.
Thanks to the technology available, we now have a third audio server on which we are proposing to do special local programs and music shows during 2010 and we'd like to hear from anyone who specialises in rock, country, brass band, classical and other specialist music shows. We're also on the lookout for anyone who proposes other kinds of program including speech and current affairs. If you have an idea for a program, or can package a show for us, please get in touch.

As a result of the new audio facilities, we have changed our music policy and now reflect more classic 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's in the Wrexham FM output. There is now a great cross section of easy listening music and we're the only station giving considerable emphasis to golden oldies in addition to the music of the 90's and 00's. It's an even better mix than ever before and we hope you enjoy it.
For those who don't yet know, and for those who appreciate their oldies, we run special sequences between 6 and 10 pm at night, every night on Wrexham FM. Just click on the listen button to tune in.
6pm - 60's at 6. An hour of classic 60's hits every night of the week.
7pm - 70's at 7. Great music from the era of glam rock and disco.
8pm - 80's at 8. The 'new music' era which saw a massive explosion of hits and styles.
9pm - 90's at 9. The naughty 90's in all its glory.
Plus:
Friday nights from 10 to midnight (new time, starts January 15th) the best radio 'dance music' show with Jules Little who presents the Global Dancefloor with great dance and trance music, the guest mix and much more.
Saturday morning from 8 to 10 AM it's Andy B with 'Jumbled Up'. Great hits, quips, trivia questions and those litle observations on life that connect with us all.
We're always on the lookout for local broadcasters who want to contribute to, and perhaps compile programs for the station. Contact us by email:

because, with the addition of our new audio server, we can accommodate almost any sort of program into the output.
Help make 2010 become Wrexham FM's year. Tune in often or make a show for it. Either way, we hope you enjoy the experience.
Roy Norry.

Police Pledge to Boost Reassurance
Written by Roy Norry
Monday, 19 October 2009 08:40
A Home Office initiative designed to improve the performance of the police and boost the reassurance factor of police work in the community has been embraced by Wrexham North's community policing unit.
Spearheaded by Inspector Alex Goss, he hopes that the scheme will further enhance community policing in Wrexham North. He told Wrexham FM "We've gone to the public and spoken to police officers to see where we can improve the services we give to the communities, and it means we can be more accessible, accountable, responsible and visible to the communities we serve".
The Police Pledge is made up of eleven points and Inspector Goss says that, although the neighbourhood policing teams are already carrying out many of the guidelines, there is always room for improvement and he hopes that the police pledge will help to boost reassurance in the community and help to show that the neighbourhood policing teams are effective in tackling the community related crimes that worry the decent law abiding people of Wrexham.
Copies of the Policing Pledge are available at most police station front desks, and more information can be found online at the Wrexham North Neighbourhood Policing web site.

NEW POLICE CONTACT NUMBER
Written by John Humberstone
Monday, 14 September 2009 06:30
The POLICE now have a new NON EMERGENCY contact number 101, obviously if you have a life threatening
emergency you stil dial 999, but for those non emergency calls to the Police its now easier to remember
just 101 and thats anywhere in the UK, Remember its for NON EMERGENCY calls and does not replace
999 for EMERGENCY CALLS, so next time you have a problem which doesn't call for a blue light and siren
response, dial 101, its the new national number for NON EMERGENCY calls to the Police.

Reaching out to street children for more than a decade
Having worked in India, the UK, East Africa, Russia and Latin America, Railway Children Charity has been reaching out to street children around the world for more than a decade.Our primary aim as an organisation is to change the lives of children living on the streets.
As we have grown, the way in which we achieve this has become more defined and focused, enabling greater, sustainable impact.
We undertake change at three levels:
Firstly, our work involves meeting the immediate needs of the child. This is where we are working directly with the child at grass roots level.
Secondly, we have to create change in the local context. This means sensitising the local community where we work. It is crucial that the children who live or arrive on the streets are not seen by society as a commodity to sell, or abuse – but as children, children in need of care and protection.
Thirdly, we work tirelessly to influence key policy decision makers in government to create safeguarding provisions within their policies and budgets for street children. This is extremely time consuming but vital if we are to achieve long term, sustainable change.
£10 will provide medical care:£25 provide educational materials for 6 months :£50 would help to reunite a child with their family
STOP PRESS! Buy the DVD "Slumdog Millionaire" from your local Tesco and they will donate a £1 to Railway Children.
