Since 1971, VRN has been entertaining and informing patients staff and visitors to hospital services in Kirkcaldy. More...
The station is run by volunteers (around 50), and there are no paid staff. Activities range from presenting shows to collecting requests from the wards. The ages of our members range widely, as do their experiences. Some are retired… some are just starting out in a career in radio.
The station is independently run, although our facilities and some of our utility costs are provided by NHS Fife.
VRN is managed through a committee structure. All positions are elected by the membership of the station, and manage the day-to-day running of the station.
The 2011-12 committee consists of:
Chairman: Bob Small
Treasurer: Ed Bowie
Secretary: Elaine Bowie
Presenter Co-ordinator: Walter Brennan
Playout System Manager: Alex Airnes
Technical: Colin Johnston
Technical: Mark Sadgrove
Minute Secretary: Jeanne Mason
Others: Elaine Connolly, Jimmy Williamson, Silvana Hanvey
The station is funded entirely by donations, grants and fundraising.
VRN is a registered charity (SC000302) and is regulated by OSCR.
