Hi Chris
Thanks for that information – I’ve added it into the original post.

Hi, I had just joined Radio Birmingham at 18. I am on the photo as Claire McCLoud but was Claire Pilson then. How young!!!
It was a really fun day, handing out stickers and badges and even signing the odd autograph book!
The t-shirt would have made a nice keepsake.
Hi, My name is Kurt Calder and I’m the mass of curly hair and sun glasses appearing behind Peter Simpkins. Pete kindly let me sit in on a couple of his programmes and I went on to help out on Radio Brum Club with David Lowe and George Parry between 1976-1979 while I was a student at St Peter’s College in Saltley (teacher training). I remember our carnival float being cheered on by the large crowd on a lovely sunny day.
