C.R.Y 104fm Station Manger, Declan Gibbons is looking forward to the station hosting the Radiothon. ‘We hosted an all-night Radiothon last December, to help raise much-needed funds for local boy, Keith Phelan and that was very well supported by station volunteers and by the local community.
This event really will be a marathon though – 50 hours of live radio, all provided by volunteers!
‘We’re delighted to partner with the Youghal Cancer Support Group. They are seeking to provide a vital service in Youghal for people from all over our listenership area, so it makes perfect sense to support them. Volunteers from both organisations will be involved throughout the 50 hours and we hope that people will respond generously and get into the spirit of the Radiothon”, he said.
CRY continues to work closely with the students in Pobail Scoil Na Trionoide and it is fitting that Pobail Scoil students will launch this epic Radio Marathon on the Friday morning.
There will be on street collections during Friday and Saturday and Collection boxes will also be placed in shops throughout Youghal town beforehand so if you want to play a request for yourself or your friends and family throw a Euro in the box and fill out the request form and all proceeds will go to these two worthy causes.

Youghal Credit Union Ltd. held its AGM in the Walter Raleigh hotel on Tuesday November 23rd. The well attended meeting heard of the successful Youghal Credit Union had in the previous year. Pic: www.youghalonline.com
Chairman John Colbert
The Chairperson, John Colbert, reported to members that the credit union had 14,000 account holders who held a total of €70 million in savings and borrowings of €41 million. Youghal Credit Union Ltd. is “safe, strong and secure” he commented.
Overall the level of savings and loans was comparable to last year. The total income received by the Credit Union marginally increased from last year’s figure. The total of loans granted did, however, drop from €15.9 million in 2009 to €13.9 million in 2010. The decrease represented a more cautious attitude by members to borrowing in the current economic climate. The Chairperson noted that the borrowings hopefully added to the growth of the local economy. He also mentioned the involvement of the Credit Union in being a major partner in funding the local enterprise centre.
The Chairperson reported that credit control was becoming a major issue with the current levels of unemployment and the general downturn in the economy. As a prudent measure the Credit Union has increased the provision for bad and doubtful debts by €1.3 million in line with the Regulator’s recommendation. He urged members who face difficulties to contact the Credit Union immediately. In light of the large provision for bad and doubtful debts the remainder of the year’s surplus was used to increase other reserves. A dividend of 075% was proposed along with an interest rebate of 10% on interest paid last year.
The Treasurer, Karl Flavin, read through the accounts and was pleased to announce that Youghal Credit Union Ltd. recorded a surplus of €1.29 million for the past year. Other highlights reported by the Treasurer included loan interest income of €3.4 million and investment income received amounting to €1.75 million which represented a 7% increase on 2009.Bad debts written off increased to €679,000. The Treasurer reiterated that these written off loans are vigorously pursued.
Guest speaker Declan Gibbons from CRY and manager Barry Treacy
Following on from the treasurer’s report all the various committees reported on their activities during the past year. The guest speaker was Declan Gibbons from CRY who outlined their programme for the coming year. Declan thanked Youghal Credit Union Ltd. for their continued financial support for CRY over the years. A draw was held for members in attendance and the prizes comprised of a number of Youghal Chamber shopping vouchers for local shops.

Community Radio Youghal has a new logo. A few months ago the call went out to some local graphic designers and artists to come up with some ideas for a new logo for Youghal’s favourite radio station.
Photo: Michael Hussey www.youghalonline.com Email: news@youghalonline.com
The new CRY Logo is unveiled by the CRY team: Claire Regan who designed the new CRY logo; Yvonne Smith, Admin; Evelyn McGrath, Cumann Na Daoine; Noel Cronin and station manager Declan Gibbons. Kneeling: Colin Durkin and John Butt
The brief was simple, A logo that was eye catching, modern and was representative of the town and local area. In the end the work of three designers came under consideration, Nigel Robertson, Mike Walsh and Claire Regan who all came up with really good ideas and some very innovative designs.
Claire Regan who designed the new CRY logo with station manager Declan Gibbons
A CRY committee was assembled to deliberate on the designs and in an effort to gauge public opinion A facebook poll was also carried out . Nigel Robertson’s “Sunset logo” was the early favourite but Claire Regan refused to be beaten and at the very last minute made one final submission which was the unanimous choice of the panel.
The new CRY Youghal Local Radio Logo
CRY104fm would like to extend our appreciation and thanks to Claire for her hard work and dedication not only on the logo but also in the different projects she is currently involved in with the radio station . The Station is delighted with its new logo and free bumper stickers are now available in our offices in Cumann Na Daoine.
