Sept. '08: 209radio is currently is dire need of funding and, unless an amount equal to or greater than £25,000 is raised by the end of September, this service will have to close.

We have been unable, so far, to secure adequate core funding and are also unable by law to generate our own on-air advertising and sponsorship revenue due to a clause in the Community Radio licence for Cambridge.

This situation will be reviewed by our regulator, Ofcom, on the 15th September but we still require urgent fundraising now, nevertheless.

209 has been providing training and broadcast opportunities to the people of Cambridge for the past 5 years and have always done so in a difficult funding environment but now we really have come to a sticking point.

We exist to provide opportunities for a very wide range of people, may of whom are taking great personal and developmental benefit from their work with us but who are also unable to give financial input.

If you are in a position to donate money to this charity and help us continue our work, please either use our justgiving account which can be found here: www.justgiving.com/209radio
or you can call the station on 01223 488418
and request more information.

Please, Cambridge, help us steer out of these difficult waters and continue to enrich the local airwaves!

Foto Ralph Nimmann Nov. 07 Ralph is talking about his interests, what the Rainbow Network Cambridge is, some highlights - & challenges at his previous radio shows, the usual stress before & during the show, what his views are about spirituality and religion, his opinion about mobile phones, computers and the Internet (including a story about Bapak, founder of Subud, and his wife Ibu), a bit about him being German, why he thinks the human voice is important for the spiritual development, what motivated Ralph to put the World Peace Pages after Sept. 11th up on his web site - and of course about his beloved Dances of Universal Peace... Ralph stepped down being the chair of the Cambridge Inter-Faith Group earlier this year. He has joined Chela, the Cambridge Georgian choir.
The question:"Who do you think you are and what is your task? (in 12 words)" stays unanswered....

Ralph came to the conclusion, that his life is too busy and that "less is more"- so he decided that this 50th radio show will be his last one. He wants to focus more on the sharing Dances of Universal Peace.
