This is a typical problem we give as a homework to students. If you
can't solve this yourself, you really need to brush up your
statistical knowledge or look for a statistician close by to cooperate
with.
Take a look at these :
http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/r/seminars/repeated_measures/repeated_measures.htm
http://gribblelab.org/2009/03/09/repeated-measures-anova-using-r/
http://www.r-statistics.com/2010/04/repeated-measures-anova-with-r-tutorials/
If you read through the documentation, you should get a fair idea of
whether or not your data is suited to use a repeated measures anova,
and if so, how you'd have to specify your model in R.
Good luck with it.
Cheers
