It is a medium that can reach many people and is more intimate than television, which is why programmes such as BBC Radio 1's &quot;Sunday Surgery&quot; are so popular. I will be keeping my local community radio station up to date with details of the OCD Action week and hectoring my mate who works there to give it some real &quot;big ups&quot; over the air. http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/ocd-week-the-details#post-34849 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:25:50 +0000 Nimrod 34849@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ Many thanks for the offer Haley.

You don't have to be a member of OCD Action but members will get a discount.<br /> <br /> As soon as details are finalised they will be given on the website, here on the Online Forum and at OCD Action. You will be able to just turn up on the day but it may not be possible for you to get into the workshops or breakout sessions of your first choice if they are already fully booked, although we will do our best to get you in. Same applies to the Manchester conference.<br /> <br /> Best wishes,<br /> Caps http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/ocd-week-the-details#post-34774 Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:51:37 +0000 anon 34774@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ do you have to be a signed up member of ocd action or can you turn up if you want to? im considering going to the london conference on the 6th of february http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/ocd-week-the-details#post-34705 Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:22:11 +0000 Nimrod 34705@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ The venue has not been finalised yet as several are being considered based on the expected attendance and activities in the programme.

It is a bit of a hobby of mine to be sure, but community radio stations, of which there are several hundred now operating legally, can give detailed airtime and in depth interviews that BBC or independent commercial stations cannot always offer. In my area, a local community station has already aired several programmes on mental health. I am sure many such operations could give OCD Awareness Week lots of free airtime. <br /> <br /> Best wishes <br /> <br /> Tez <!-- s8) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" /><!-- s8) -->
