Awards Night Info
Posted by Nikki on November 13, 2007 12:08 PM
For all you lucky enough to be in possession of your very own ticket - the Student Radio Awards 2007 takes place this Thursday November 15th. The event begins at 18:30 with a Smirnoff drinks reception. Dinner will be served at 19:15 - so don't be late!
If you're coming to the after-ceremony with the support of Red Stripe, please come along at 10.30. The evening's activities will finish at 2am.
The event is held at the New Connaught Rooms which is right beside Holborn tube station on the Central and Piccadilly lines (and also very near Covent Garden station). Please note there is absolutely no parking space near the venues, nor suitable dropping off space for coaches.
This year is the 40th year of Student Radio, so we're going with a dress code of black tie, and 'wear something red' to tie in with the "Ruby" theme. If you come in a suit rather than black tie we'll let you in if you smile nicely :) You can wear as little or as much red as you like - red dresses right down to a red badge!!
Everyone attending needs to bring ID! Please don't forget.
Can't wait to see you all there!

Ticketing Update!
Posted by Heather Davies on October 30, 2007 10:44 PM
Thank-you for your ticket requests for the 2007 Student Radio Awards. We have been thrilled by the response!
If you haven't yet received confirmation of your places yet, please don't panic. We are currently working around the clock to try to accomodate as many stations as possible, and this may mean that the stations who booked late and in large groups may find their numbers limited slightly. We apologise for this, but as so many stations put requests in all at once, we have to be as fair as possible with our allocations, and give every station a chance to attend. We will be in touch with individual stations over the next couple of days to confirm numbers. Unfortunately, any mail postmarked with a date later than 30 Oct will not be considered.
If you did miss out on the evening ticket, don't stress! We'll be selling "after-dinner" tickets on the SRA website from Monday.
If you'd like to be put on our reserve list for full evening ticket places (dinner and ceremony), please email "reserve" and a list of interested parties to secretary@studentradio.org.uk.
