The reunion held at the Sprowston Manor Hotel, Norwich, on 28 September to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Look East was a huge success.
Four who had worked on the first programme were amongst the 120 guests: June Lewis and Cynthia Harris (Production Secretaries), Keith Clement (Director) and John Lewis (Film Editor). Also attending was Susanne Hall, the first female Look East presenter, who in addition did regular live cooking spots from a very basic studio ‘kitchen’ before moving on to Nationwide.
Three couples who’d met their partners while working in the Norwich newsroom were amongst the numerous staff and freelance journalists who were present: Roger and Vivienne Maynard (who’d come from Australia), Steve and Helen Clinch, and Ron and Vivienne Trickett.
A slide show compiled by Terry Wooller covering 成人快手 East activities since its birth triggered memories as guests saw themselves and former colleagues on the screen, which prompted lively conversations during the excellent buffet.
As the afternoon was drawing to a close, there was a hearty round of applause for Maria Todd, Andrew Holland, Linda Carr, Terry Wooller and Chris Carter in recognition of the six months of hard work they’d put into organising the event.
