Welcome to the ITN 1955 CLUB web site. It presents a great opportunity for the exchange of views and, with members taking part in the forum and contributing to the picture galleries, it will be a source of entertainment to all. Please use the site and make any suggestion that you may have on its content. I should like to make it clear that this website is not meant in any way to replace the monthly Newsletter, but to be in addition to it. I hope you will all join me when we celebrate the ITN 1955 club's 21st birthday on 30th October at the House of Commons.
John Copleston (Chairman)
TERRY NOBBS
It is with sadness that we have heard of the death, following a long illness, of Terry Nobbs . Terry worked at ITN first as a Despatch Rider and later as a Studio Supervisor. He leaves a wife Freda and three grown up children.Further details will follow once we have the information.
The August Newsletter will not be dropping through your letterbox until the middle of August. This is because Pat Watson is on holiday till then and Syd Stiller is no longer able to share the distribution of the Newsletter with Pat due to his house move.
In answer to some members requests the Edna Traill interview has been moved to the front page
For those wishing to attend the Anniversary Lunch at the HoC in
October, and who haven't already responded to me, please fill in the
form on the back page of the Newsletter and send it to me, together
with a cheque made out to ITN 1955 Club and enclose a s.a.e.
Your official invitation card will be sent out to you in September,
once it has been approved by the HoC. The cost is £25 for a member and
£30 for a guest. If you are bringing a guest I need to know their name.
I also need to know if you have special dietary requirements - i.e.
vegetarian, or no meat but could eat chicken or fish. We do not yet
have the new Menu from the HoC Banqueting Office so I am unable at this
stage to tell you what the meal will be. Also if anyone with a
disability is planning to come by car, I need to know the make, colour
and registration number of the vehicle plus the name of the driver and
passenger.
I have included the following link which gives details of what to
expect when you arrive at the Houses of Parliament. http://www.parliament.uk/visiting/access/events/
If you have any questions please email me. My e-mail address is on the back of any Newsletter. Pauline Heard
