There was a Day of Cultural “Blogcasting” from Destinations in Saltburn on March 4th to tie in with European Get Online Day. A team of community media volunteers worked from a temporary studio upstairs in Destinations to put out a five hour programme of sound, video and images. A couple of clips came in from Latvia. Whilst it was a little disappointing that more content did not come in from our European partners we de get over 2000 viewers on the day and the visitor map to the right (click to enlarge) shows where our viewers were coming from. We even had Community Media students from Brighton University assigned to study our work.

The event was launched by Cllr Barry Hunt, The Mayor of Loftus and was followed by wide and varied content ranging from animations to poetry performances.

Some notable items: A live unedited walk along Skinningrove Jetty followed by Tommy Evans’ update on Otters, Marske Fishermans Choir and the East Cleveland Image Archive
