Preston FM is broadcasting from the Discovery Centre in Garstang (on the high street in the old Tourist Information centre) before we move on to leg 5 of the summer tour at Moor Park on Monday next week.

For the rest of this week, we're bringing you all the latest from the Garstang community, meeting people and organisations from the world's first Fair Trade Town.  There's been all sorts going on over the last two weeks at the discovery centre, so why not pop in while we're still in Garstang  and discover it all for yourself? Pop in to visit us, or book in to one of the workshops we're running by calling 01772 880791 - you can find more details here.

You can find out more about Garstang and what's going on in the town at www.garstang.net.  Please click below for pictures of us live in action

We are proud to present the latest set of Preston FM radio production courses. The courses are designed for people new to Preston FM and give you the chance to learn all about community radio - from the knobs and buttons in the studio, through to how to prepare and present an interesting radio programme.

Once you've completed the course, you can then continue to volunteer with Preston FM (if you want to) as a regular presenter, community journalist, production role or in some other way. All courses are free, and we can cover travel and childcare expenses whilst you're volunteering with us in most circumstances.

There are three courses to choose from - all cover the same content, but at different times:

• COURSE 1 -  10am-1pm, Mondays & Tuesdays
  8th Nov, 9th Nov, 15th Nov, 16th Nov, 22nd Nov, 23rd Nov, 29th Nov
