| In 1969 Geoffrey Pearl, Chairman of the Free Radio Association offered the use of his facility at 239, Eastwood Road Rayleigh as a Radio Kaleidoscope meeting venue and mailbox address.
During one of our meetings (organised by Mike Baker), Geoff brought in a young Colin King and asked if we would mind him sitting in during our discussions. Colin’s only question during the meeting was “How did you choose the name Radio Kaleidoscope?” Most of the Radio Kaleidoscope team felt uncomfortable using the FRA’s facilities, preferring instead to use an alternative location.
