Return to the studio

For many months now as you know, those who could, have continued to produce the Otley & District Talking Newspaper, recording at home. But we have of course missed being together and so we are delighted to let you know that we are heading back to the studio in March. We really hope that you will be able to join us again.

There are two important changes to note. First that with the impending sale of the Methodist church, we have moved to a new venue in Otley - The Chestnuts on Burras Lane. And second, that we are preparing, reading, and recording the paper on a Thursday.

There are several different roles to fill - wallets, editor, producer, reader, and technician. Training will be given if needed and please do ask if you want to know more about any of the roles. Volunteers usually sign up for about once a month.

Covid - we suspect we all have different views on what we should be doing over the coming weeks and months to keep ourselves and each other as safe as possible. We have created a Code of Conduct which we hope strikes a balance between recording together again and taking reasonable measures to protect each other. Do have a read as this is an important part of returning to the studio.

We hope you will be able to return and take up one of these roles. Let us know what you might like to do, and we will be in touch,
