Maybe you have seen a show in Leighton Buzzard and want to send us a review?
Or review a restaurant? Or send us an infomercial for your company?
Send it to ian@leightonbuzz.com and we will add it to the site!
And more people to thank...
Observer and the people of LB Freecycle – Without all of you this project would not be possible!
A new year, a new TV show!
The LBtv group have decided to delay the broadcast of our first show until the new year. It was a hard decision but the right one.
We have been very lucky and have great support from local companies and organisations in LB. Bedfordshire Libraries have been really kind and said we can use the Culture Cafe to broadcast the live show. The Culture Cafe has been used as a base for a few meetings and very hospitable. We have also used The Aswell Arms in Leighton Buzzard for a meeting and have another there tonight. A couple of weeks ago we held our first rehearsal for the show, it gave us a chance to look at the layout and make best use of the space. We are also very grateful to David Sambrook at DJ Services for the use of his workshop that allowed us to rehearse. Without the support of these and other local companies it would be very hard for a project like this to get off the ground. So thank you all.
As for the show...we were due to go live this week but one of the major stumbling blocks has been the insurance. When we originally came up with this idea we never imaged we would need constitutions, editorial policies, insurance etc but needs must so we have to work through it. A major stumbling block we have is funding. We have kept costs to a minimum for the pilot show but the cost of insurance has hit us hard. Between now and the show (probably late January) we need to raise some funds and get the insurance paid for. The LBtv group are meeting tonight to discuss possible ideas.
As soon as a date is confirmed we will announce it on the website
I will keep the blog updated more often but should you have any questions please feel free to email me ian@leightonbuzz.com
