100th Anniversary of the BBC
On the 23rd September the EHS held a special event to celebrate 100 years of the BBC. The evening consisted of a collection of personal memories of BBC broadcasts that came from Elham, as well as reminiscences of favourite radio programmes over the years. The performers on the night were: Pam Ferris, Jenny Gasson, Derek Boughton, Nigel Thomas & Trevor Gasson. Ably assisted backstage by Richard Motley & Bryan Badham, with special thanks to Paul Weller for his help with the stage lighting.

An exhibition of photographs and information about the early days of wireless transmission was also held. A Timeline was also produced to show the development of the BBC and the links with the village of Elham itself.
