Me Mark Page is going to be hobbling along on his crutches to Perth Racecourse next Wednesday (1st July) to broadcast live from the Perth Showcase event. He'll be on hand interviewing a varied gaggle of guests and letting you know just what it's like to be at the races.
Of course, it would be much better to go along and see Mark for yourself, which we highly encourage. (He likes a big crowd!)
Don't know much about the Perth Showcase event or why YOU would enjoy a great day out? Well here's a little about it:
The new Perthshire Showcase meeting on Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd July will invite you to sample the local fayre and see the best produce that Perthshire has to offer. From locally made food and drink to jewellery and art, it will be a great opportunity to support and discover local talent. Come and enjoy one of the most picturesque Racecourses in the U.K and take in the sights and sounds of rural Perthshire.
This summer fixture is another great opportunity to enjoy the thrill of National Hunt racing in a superb parkland setting. Racing at it's best, with stalls selling a variety of racing memorabilia, pictures, clothing and other equestrian related products, you have an opportunity for some serious shopping.
Come and enjoy a relaxed afternoon's racing in the summer sun at Scone Palace Park, with friends, family or colleagues. Why not take a table in the glass fronted first floor Galileo Restaurant in the Nelson Stand with spectacular views overlooking the Racecourse. Call the Racecourse Office on 01738 551597 for more details.
Perth FM at the races: and they're off!

Methven Gala Day - 14th June 2009
On Sunday afternoon the Perth FM Roadshow with Ray Dallas headed to the Methven Gala Day. It was a fun day out for all the family there was a Mini Highland games, Pig Race, beat the goalie, and of course the football competition and congratulations to Cathy Select who won 10 - 7 against the junior team and man of the match was Kenneth Scott. There was also a display from Alyth Falconry and if you check out the picture section of the Perth FM website you will see a picture of Ray Dallas looking very scared holding a big bird. (Not often he holds one of them!) And we can't forget about the special appearance by Dr Luv himself otherwise known as Peter Hay from the Quiet Storm on Perth FM.
The weather wasn't the best as the heavens did open but that didn't dampen the sprits, as everyone just ran and hid in tents or gazebos until the rain went off.
Do check out the Gallery section of the Perth FM website as you never know you may just spot yourself, when our Basbo was out and about taking the pictures.
Thanks, to everyone who came along to the roadshow on Sunday, it was great to meet everyone, and I'm already looking forward to next years Methven Gala Day

St Johnstone signed shirt! - Tue 16 June
This morning saw a visit to the studio by Paul Smith (Sales and Marketting at McDiarmid Park) who brought with him a gorgeous framed signed away shirt!
Jenny and I spent the better part of half an hour trying to decypher the signatures on the shirt. Most seem pretty illegible but we've identified Paul Sheerin, Gary Irvine, Marin Hardie, Kevin Moon and, well, we've made up the rest... looks like Gary Bolan... Tommy Turner... and going by the scribbles: Attila Sekerlioglu and Gunni Torfason! (apparently I'm older that I look to remember some of those players...)
Check out the photos in the gallery section, but here's a preview. (And a chance to make Mike Arthur squirm as he's a Dunfermline supporter seen here 'forced' to put a saints scarf around his neck! To quote him 'At least it's not Falkirk...')
Stay tuned for more with St Johnstone over the summer as Perth FM will once more play host to the Super Saints lotto draw sometime in July.

Hollywood Nights
Song stuck in our heads, the Perth FM team attended the Hollywood Nights event at McDiarmid Park in aid of CLIC Sargent. The event had a fake casino lounge set up so we could play blackjack and roulette (and lose it all, darn) and then with a buffet in the Centenial Suite we had an auction and raffle.
Check out our gallery page for pictures from the event and shortly (keep checking!) there will be a podcast of interviews up from the night that will be on our homepage.
The event raised over 2000 pounds for CLIC Sargent and the team had a wonderful night out!

fair City Fitness Challenge!
On Saturday May 30th Perth FM went along to the High Street to support the efforts of those taking part in the Fair City Fitness Challenge. Linsey was there, microphone in hand to interview organisers and volunteers who were raising money for CHAS, the Children's Hospice Association of Scotland, and specifically the work they do at Rachel House in Kinross.
CHAS brought people in with buckets and the people of Perth gave generously as they watched the cyclists notch up the distance from Perth to Big Ben. They even managed to cycle so far they doubled back on themselves by about 50 miles or so!
Well done to those taking part, we hope a lot of money was raised.
Right now you can hear a podcast of interviews from the day when we reported between 2 and 3pm, during the final stretch of the event, and the gallery page has been updated with pictures from the day.
It was a busy, hot day in Perth on Saturday but that didn't deter the sweaty cyclists who hope to put on the event again next year, only bigger and better!

Me Mark Page... in the wars.
It seems that my Achilles heel is my Achilles heel.
Hi Me Mark Page here. So there I was playing football, 2 minutes to go, running for the ball, nobody near me and "crack!" I thought I'd been hit by a sniper but it was just my tendon snapping- that's all. So an operation and a few days in hospital later I'm back on the airwaves at Perth FM. So my radio resumes, but has my football career ended before it ever took off?
Here's a picture of my red leg.
