Our viewers and listeners (all five of you) will , no doubt, be wondering what happened to the ageing 'Ant' and 'Dec' of Gracemount! Well, sorry, all we can be sure of is that we're two years older (but not necessarily wiser)! Anyway, we very much appreciate that you've stuck with us despite our mini-version of the "crunch" As you might guess, the net effect has been to put all our noble and grand ideas in the freezer for an extended period. However, the good news is that we're, at last, being seen to move some of our stuff back into comfortable room temperature. Unfortunately, for proprietory reasons, we definitely have to keep developments under wraps for just a few weeks longer. Terms and conditions have to be negotiated with our mentors and agreed to. Obviously, details of costing, timelines and job allocations also have to be worked out. Once we have all the detailed info ourselves, we'll make sure you'll be the very first to get the word. The main gist of it is that we, 'GD', hope to be involved in all the fun and excitement of the Festival through a truly brilliant project. It's being facilitated, we believe, by a RSL broadcasting outlet, which you already know as Festival Radio. The 'tekkies' among you will, I hope, note that Angus has done a great job (and thanks!) in getting us properly 'blogged' This, of course, means that you can get in on the act much more directly from this day on.
Please keep those comments coming - polite ones are preferred but not obligatory!
One last request is that each one of us 'recruit' a friend to join the gang. The reason for our request is that to get our project up and running successfully we need twelve literally outgoing people in the team .
(We could go up as high as sixteen at a push.) We can offer legit expenses but, sorry, no wage.
We believe the ideal candidates might well be 'media-Muppets' , gagging for Gaga and wild as wombats. They might also be Hendrixes at the Bendix, Parises at the Hilton and Articulate Monkeys. Okay, they could also just be uncool wage-slaves bored with office life! Please wait till your between 16 and 96 before applying!
Thanks!

There a whole lot of good reasons for volunteering. It is more than just 'helping out' on the odd occasion, though there is nothing wrong with that at all. We will help people out, naturally, if and when we are able to do so. However, perhaps, you might be looking for a more focused way of assisting people. This is where you are ought to speak to an experienced advisor.
The folks at Volunteer Edinburgh will tell you that volunteering. gone about properly, can be an immensely rewarding experience. It gives rewards in so many ways that simply can't be measured in monetary terms. Volunteering can, for example,help you gain self-confidence, help you recover from a bout of clinical depression, improve your 'people skills' and your mental and physical well-being and gain you real and life-long friends.
