Rediffusion Hull Reunion 2011
After the disappointment of the reunion 2010 which was badly hampered by 2 foot of snow it was great to see a good turnout this year. Over 40 former employees of Rediffusion Hull attended the reunion on Friday 2nd December at Goodfellowship Inn, Cottingham Road.
There was a good mix of people from the technical and administrative staff and a number of people attended for the first time despite this being reunion number 30 ish. It is amazing that after all these years stories and tales keep popping up.
Ken Allott produced 2 boards of photographs that were put up on display and Mike Worsey brought a file full of photographs, newspaper articles and other memorabilia which were the topics of conversation all night.
The photographs show that staff have not lost their ability to have a good time and are always ready for a good party.
The next reunion will be a Goodfellowship Inn, Cottingham Road on Friday 7th December 2012 from 7-30 pm onwards.
