In a join activity evening on Monday 16th April, Vernon Cubs visited the studios of Canalside Community Radio/CY4Y Youth Radio and the Bollington Discovery Centre. Pictured here with Phil and Damian from CY4Y Radio, the cubs learned how DJs carry out the complex job of loading songs and jingles. Some cubs then recorded a short jingle of their own and watched a brief demonstration by Dan Shaw - a cub and trainee DJ at CY4Y Radio.

The cubs also visited Bollington Discovery Centre in alternating groups, to hear an interesting short talk by Tim Boddington about the industrial history of Bollington, Poynton and Macclesfield, including mining, cotton, silk and fire brick production.
