18.05.09
INISHOWEN Community
Radio has issued an open invitation to groups and
individuals in the peninsula to join the
award-winning station. The station's AGM takes place
on Tuesday, June 2, 2009 and everyone is invited to
take part.
Community or voluntary groups can become a member of
the company on payment of an annual membership fee
of €20 while a nominated representative is entitled
to attend and vote at the AGM and elect members to
the board of directors. Any individual member of the
public can join the company as a volunteer who can
also attend and vote at the AGM. |

Station manager Jim
Doherty explained: "As a member of the company and
as a representative of your community group I urge
you to attend this meeting on the night. The success
of the station depends on the support and
participation of the community. We have big plans
for the future but we need the local community to
get more involved and help direct our development."
ICRfm aims to be a voice for north Inishowen and
hopefully all |
of Inishowen when the
new all-Inishowen licence is offered later this
year. It is owned, operated and controlled by the
community of Inishowen. The station provides
training to all community groups and individuals to
enable them to put forward their aims, views and
promote their activities. “The community here has an
important role in shaping our future development,"
added Jim. "Several directors of the current board
are stepping down and we need people with vision,
drive and commitment to take their place. As a
member of the Inishowen community sector or just
someone with an interest in radio, I urge you to
attend on the night and make your voice heard."
If you would like to get involved, simply call 074
9329105 for more information. The Annual General
Meeting of ICRfm will be held in the IDP offices,
Pound Street, Carndonagh, on Tuesday, June 2 at
7.30pm. |
