It was going to be just another normal Monday evening for our chairman Dave
Leonard, but we couldn't let the 20th anniversary of him joining the station go
by without something to mark the occasion could we!
23rd July 2001 was the date. It all started when some of our past members started to show up just before
9pm. They started with ex-childrens' show presenters Neale Adams and Paul
Streeter and they were followed by many more including our honorary member Steve
Fox.
Then at 9pm, instead of the genuine news, a specially recorded news bulletin
by IRN's Simon Cadman was played in, surprising everyone.
Then the fun really started. Steve presented Dave with two
certificates, one for 18 years which he should have got two years ago, but
didn't because of the fire, and the other, the proper 20 year Long Service Award
from the HBA.
At the same time, our Honorary President Chairman Mike called in to join in
the fun and as the applause was dying down after all of that, a certain Chris
Tarrant left his greeting.
It was a good evening all round, a chance for past members to get together
again and to meet some of the new team, and see around the new studios, and a
chance to remember some of the many good times from the last few years, and look
forward to all the good times to come in the next 20 years!!
Thanks to all those who came along and took part in the evening's fun.
