Vernon retired to Spain with his wife Celia in 2007 after a career in container shipping and logistics. During the years before he left the UK, however, he became self-employed and his last role was as Town Centre Manager for the market town of Alton in Hampshire, during which time he became involved in local radio presenting.
From weekly talk programmes on commercial radio stations to evening DJ on Hospital Radio Basingstoke, Vernon enjoyed covering a wide variety of music genres and interviewing local councillors and business owners. Four years ago the opportunity arose to help set up a new local radio station here in Spain – Valley FM.
In his talk to the General Assembly on 13 January, Vernon will be describing some of the interesting and often amusing happenings on and off air and how he helped to establish a unique concept in local radio aimed at the retired English-speaking population in this area.
