Later Years
Radio Avalon continued to gain new support throughout the 1990s. The station became fully self funding, having relied in the early years on support from the Glastonbury Festival organisation. Radio Avalon now played host to a new generation of younger broadcasters who saw the station as a great opportunity to be heard. It was sponsored by various organisations and gained support from record labels and emerging dot com companies. The new century saw divisions begin to assert themselves within the membership. Following the death of Fred Williams in 2004, station manager since 1992, an internal struggle arose that resulted in personnel changes.

Famous quotes containing the word years:
“One of the most difficult aspects of being a parent during the middle years is feeling powerless to protect our children from hurt. However “growthful” it may be for them to experience failure, disappointment and rejection, it is nearly impossible to maintain an intellectual perspective when our sobbing child or rageful child comes in to us for help. . . . We can’t turn the hurt around by kissing the sore spot to make it better. We are no longer the all-powerful parent.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell (20th century)
“For six years you shall sow your land and gather in its yield; but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, so that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the wild animals may eat. You shall do the same with your vineyard, and with your olive orchard.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 23:10,11.
