Nick Owen Live

 

A capacity crowd attended the quarterly meeting of the Kidderminster Prostate Cancer Support Group in the Town Hall on Monday 21st April, to hear Nick Owen speak on his life and work in Television.

The meeting was opened by the Chairman Paul Brothwell who announced a programme of forthcoming events.  The President, David Baxter-Smith gave a short talk on the desirability for all men to have the PSA blood tests, quoting the success of such trials over a period of time in parts of Europe and America. 

Nick Owen was then introduced and he proceeded to give the audience a truly interesting and humorous insight into his lifetime as a reporter and T.V. presenter with both ATV and BBC covering sport both here and abroad including the 1988 Olympic Games and the 1990 World Cup, together with recollections of the Good Morning programme with Anne Diamond up to the present Midlands Today programmed with the BBC making him feel like a close friend of the family.  Following questions from the floor, including one on his choice of shirts and ties which resulted in more laughter, he was presented with a gift from the Support Group by Mary Symons.

The PSA testing during the evening resulted in approximately 300 men receiving blood tests from nine phlebotomists, thanks are due to the able assistance given by the members of the Widows Group.

Altogether an excellent and productive evening.
