Dear Caroline supporter,
The holiday season sneaks up on all of us and Caroline has the answer to your present list!
Treat yourselves or family and friends. Please order early, the embroidered clothing is made to order and last postal dates for overseas orders to some countries are in the first week of December. Our volunteers will be very busy and it helps if you can give them some extra time. Order now and remember ALL our staff are volunteers and ALL the profit goes to help keep Radio Caroline and her Radio Ship Ross Revenge going for another year!
Here are some suggestions:
Our superb high quality A3 sized wall calendar, for 2009, celebrates the 45 years of Caroline history and features Caroline's offshore broadcast ships through to her last offshore broadcast platform the Ross Revenge shown here at her best with her record breaking 300 foot mast in international waters during the mid 1980's.
'Super Premium' quality 'Fruit of the Loom' T shirts printed by Lakeland with Caroline logos and featuring either the Ross Revenge as she is today (with your help) or in her very last days in international waters.
The five ships are shown on the back of the shirt and the detail of the Ross Revenge pictured left is on the chest.
We also recommend the special embroidered range of clothing which includes T shirts in a range of styles, a unisex parka jacket, polo shirts, a towelling robe, fleece jackets, sweats shirts and sweat jackets.
All of these are produced exclusively for our shop by Lakeland using top quality clothing ranges. All items feature Caroline's ship Ross Revenge as she looked in her 80s heyday, along with her Sky channel and station logos. Final embroidery will be carefully matched to garment colour during production.

Update on FEBA radio programmes to Bihar
Shannon June Kittlitz
Friday 14th November, 2008
Feba India's FIRST Response team completed their special radio programme for the flood-affected people of Bihar, India on 21 October. They are now continuing to address listeners' rehabilitation needs in their regular programming. During the span of the special daily short wave broadcasts in September and October, the programme producers received over 1800 messages by phone and SMS. Suma, Head of Training and Development at Feba India, says: "I just want to thank God for this opportunity. I think I most appreciate the part played by Feba UK, if not for them we would not have had this FIRST Response training in India. They passed on that interest to us and because of that, we are able to see today we reached so many people in Bihar. I want to praise God for this opportunity and I am sure that many more opportunities will come in the days to come. It is a great privilege to reach people in times of disaster."The Head of Programming at Feba Delhi Firoz says: "Our special programme for the Bihar flood victims was closed on 21 October, so now we are producing and airing on our existing schedule: one programme in Hindi and one programme in Urdu. We are talking about their rehabilitation. We have to work on two aspects of life for their rehabilitation: one is very psychological because people are very depressed; they lost their hope. The other part is physical because people lost everything in this flood: they lost their houses, they lost their cattle. they lost everything. So we have to continue to share information from the government and from the NGOs with the people of flood-affected areas." While Suma was in Bihar in September, she met an NGO which works directly with the government of India and the national development disaster management authority. Suma says: "They were interested when they heard about this FIRST Response training and also the response towards the Bihar floods. They were quite curious as to what kind of training this was, saying 'We want to have this training.' So there seems to be a lot of interest in regards to FIRST Response. Soon after Bihar there was a disaster in Orissa, in fact simultaneously Bihar and Orissa were under floods. I think in the coming days there will be more
disasters, so we need to train more people region wide to equip them to respond to these disasters, probably starting with training in Delhi next June."
