50 Years of Irish TV - Major Fanmail Project Completed!

[stigduke]

Today, I have finally completed one of the most ambitious projects I have ever conceived during my career as an autograph collector. I have finally collected 50 autographs from 50 different RTÉ stars. This project was part of my celebration of 50 years of Irish television and the 50th anniversary of the Irish TV network, Radio Telefis Éireann.(RTÉ).

It was a risky, yet ambitious undertaking, but I was delighted to have devised it. This was one of the first major fanmail projects I ever embarked on. It may have taken seven months to complete, but it was time well spent. And what's more, many of the stars I wrote to during this campaign even gave their kind support to me during the time I was collecting the autographs. Without their assistance, I would have never completed the collection.

I will post a list of the 50 autographs I received as soon as possible.

Inniu, thug mé ar cheann de na tionscadail is uaillmhianaí a cumadh riamh mé le linn mo bheatha mar bhailitheoir láimh an údair.
Tá mé a baillíodh ar deireadh caoga realtai teilifise éagsúla na hÉireann. Ní an tionscadal mar chuid de ceiliúradh ar chomóradh 50 bliain ar an craoltóir stair na hÉireann, RTÉ (Radio Telefis Éireann).
Bhí sé le gnóthas uaillmhianach, ach bhí athas orm a bheith dírithe ar mé féin dó. Bhí sé seo ar cheann de na tionscadail mhóra chéad láimh an údair a bhailiú go bhfuil mé riamh ar tús. D'fhéadfadh sé a bheith déanta ar feadh cúpla mí, ach chomh fada agus na pleananna seo ful gnóthad sé in am. Agus cad atá níos mó, thug go leor de na réaltai a scriobh chugam le linn an fheactais seo fiú a fluid tacaíochta chineál dom le linn an ama a bhí mé ag bhailiú an síniúchán. Gan a gcúnamh tacaíocht, agus feabhas, ba mhaith liom riamh a bheith críochnaithe bhailiúchan seo.

Beidh mé post liosta de na caoga réaltai scríobh mé chuig a luaithe is féidir.

Sorry, I cannot put any photos on this forum because I use mobile internet. But I would be happy to give you some information on how to write to an RTÉ star at a specific department within RTÉ. That was how I was successful in getting replies from the station.
