Just a Minute

On the evening of 8 September I went with my friend Rachel to the Frank Hutchins Memorial Hall in Thatcham to see the local version of Just a Minute. The event was organised by Thatcham Town Council for the Mayors charities.

It was a very good evening; - well organised, a tasty buffet in the interval, and very well attended (it looked like a sell out to me!). Special guests were the son and widow of the original Radio 4 panel game, and the four panellists; Jeff Brook, Mike Cole, Paul Dick and Margaret Goldie were all great sports. The chairman Andrew Cooper was also first rate – he has a very good voice for radio! The microphones and buzzers were put to good use, and the technical stuff all worked very well (apart from a slight hitch with the stopwatch, but a spare had been provided!).
