THE Editor of the “Crediton Courier” newspaper, Alan Quick, was the guest speaker at a recent Tuesday morning Age Concern Crediton coffee morning, held at the charity’s Lady Mills Centre in Deep Lane, Crediton.

Alan talked about the history of the newspaper, his years of work with the newspaper, about changes in technology and how it is now a digital-led multi-media business offering a news and advertising service for the area.

The “Crediton Courier” began in December 1974 and Alan also spoke about interesting and humorous stories and incidents he has reported on during his long service with the newspaper.

Kate Tucker, on behalf of Age Concern Crediton, said afterwards: “Thank you so much for sparing the time to come to talk to us all at Age Concern on Tuesday. Everyone reported how much they had enjoyed your visit and how clearly you had spoken (praise indeed!).

“Many thanks and very much appreciated.”
