Harrogate Hospital Radio celebrates 200 combined years of service
Harrogate Hospital Radio is to celebrate a group of volunteers who have given more than 200 combined years of service to the station.
Eight members of the society, which first took to the air in October 1977, will be ‘presented’ with long service certificates at its AGM by Hospital Broadcasting Association President, June Snowden.
The broadcaster was Harrogate’s first dedicated radio station, and will recognise those volunteers who have been members of the charity for ten years and longer, including one for 40 years.
However, because of covid restrictions, the meeting will be held online.
The members who are being honoured are:
Steve Pexton, 40 years, John Manning 35 years, Nicola Pollard, 30 years, David Simister 30 years, Bill Caw 20 years, Mike Streeton 15 years, Ellie Jackson 15 years, Simon Berger 10 years, Martin Fretwell 10 years.
