Sadly it's all over and the Radio Station has Shut Down
We can't go without a special thanks to our sponsors Invesco Perpetual and the Daily Telegraph. Thanks go too to all the organisation who advertised with us - it wouldn't be possible without you. We need to thank also all those people who have freely given their time, effort and not insubstantial skill in helping to put it all together - there must be at least 100 of those. Finally but not least importantly we need to thank our listeners from all over the world.
We hope to be back next year.
We have finished loading the audio onto the website but there are still thousands of pictures which we'll endeavour to upload in the coming days; so if you're interested in the pictures then you'll need to revisit the website in the coming days.

Our ever popular "Mystic Henley" is now up and running
... and entry is free! Click here to enter. You can win a luxury hamper. This is the 4th year that we have run Mystic Henley in association with Rachel Quarrell's "the Rowing Service". You don't need to know much about rowing to have a reasonable chance of winning; the Stewards "select" crews so that they avoid one another in the early part of the draw. This is a system similar to seeding (as at Wimbledon) and the Stewards rarely get it wrong. Have a go! The competition is growing in popularity and we've even got wind of intra family competitions!
