Commonwealth Venues

For the Future News 2014 conference, the delegates were given the chance to visit two of the venues going to be used for the Commonwealth: Celtic Park and the Sir Chris Hoy velodrome.

At Celtic Park each group was given the chance to have tour around Celtic Park and seethe facilities available. At the velodrome the delegates had the chance to see where the track and cycling will take place.

Also at the velodrome the delegates had a chance to speak to the head of Glasgow 2014 commission.

Every person seemed to have a good time at each venue, and I especially Celtic Park, being a big Celtic fan.

I could have only had this experience with Future News 2014! #fn2014

Capital FM Rocks

On the second day of the three day Future News conference, a group of Future News journalists were given the chance to see the inside of Capital FM.

The group were all thrilled with the opportunity to meet a professional radio presenter, who started as a member of the street team and had his first radio job at a hospital radio station.

The group were taken around the building and up to the studio where Callum Gallacher was reporting. They even got to see him reporting live. Callum gave the group a shout out on live radio in the middle of his broadcast.

After answering any questions they might have had about radio presenting, he was bombarded with requests to take 'selfies' and group pictures.

The head of Capital FM, and various other radio stations, gave the group 'Capital FM' pens and boxes of Belvita breakfast bars as gifts after their tour.

The group enjoyed their visit to Capital Fm, and to be honest, so did I.
