Ron Leleux

Ron retired to Shanklin a few years ago and found time in between his passion for playing bowls to explore new interests. He read about a Vectis Radio open day and was interested enough to visit. He has always been keen on music, having fun discos in his youth, and was keen to become involved in presenting. So much so that he now has his own show on Monday and Friday mid-mornings.

He thoroughly enjoys the camaraderie that exists at Vectis Radio and learning lots about the Island from his fellow presenters. This has led to him exploring the Island’s, eateries, theatres, and walks that usually include a pub along the way.

Ron has also become involved more recently with assisting the 4P’s students on a Saturday morning. Safe to say that now his main passions are equally split between Vectis Radio and bowls. Join him on Monday and Friday Mid Morning show where sometimes he is joined by Moira and it's a wonder he is still here with some of the things he says to her......

  Purpose and Mission
  The JCAC is a registered charity and structured voluntary service organisation dedicated to helping individuals, families, and communities build resilience for everyday life disruptions and emergencies.
  Its mission is to strengthen public preparedness and provide practical support during crises without replacing emergency services.
  The organisation emphasizes calm, confidence, and practical skills in civil defence through initiatives like Project Sophia and Britain Ready
  The concept behind the Joint Civil Aid Corps is to train volunteers as broadly skilled “generalists” who can assist during emergencies in a range of practical roles.  That might include helping manage traffic at an incident, assisting with coordination tasks, or providing logistical support that frees up trained professionals to focus on specialist work. To make that possible, training has been a central focus from the outset. Volunteers receive cross-training across multiple disciplines so that responders can deploy them flexibly during an incident. They are currently looking for volunteers on the Isle of Wight
