GILL, GARETH & ANN

The Talking News Federation held its 8th annual conference at Swindon's Marriott Hotel this weekend.
The conference was organised by Ann Wood, who is pictured here with Gareth from the Marriott Hotel, from whom Ann told me she has received superb service.
Gill Cowsill works at RNIB's transcription service and has been on hand helping Ann behind the scenes.
This is Ann's final year as conference organiser and I think she did brilliantly well to attract the Rt Hon David Blunkett to speak at the event.
He was in conversation with Peter white on Friday.
Other speakers were: Veronica Laker; Lady Lansdowne; Brian Watts; John May; Mike Wood; Stephen Russell; Peter McDonagh; Margaret Cowie; Toby Davey; Peter Fraser & Rowland Myers.
Oh and someone called The Mole Photographer also said a few words.

Thanks for inviting me Ann and I hope you leave the conference with a sense of a job superbly well done and a multitude of fond memories on which to reflect.


They are going to miss you.
