Former trainees Bella Machin, Josh Haining, Joe Rossiter, Olivia Kemp, Jamie Boys, William Hallowell and Freya Barnes talked about their journey.
During the week the trainees wrote stories, intros, captions and headlines. Emily Driver won a scratchcard for the best news headline of the week and Will Gove for the best picture headline. As usual we finished with the newsquiz, 25 questions about the week. The winners were Evie Selby and Lotte Micklethwaite who both scored 20 and also collected a scratchcard. Emily scored 18 and Livvy Mason-Myhill 16.5.
The top solo scorer in last week’s newsquiz was Tom Layton with 20, narrowly ahead of Nick Turner, Sam Lawley and George Mann on 19. Emily Driver, Robert Rea and Ian McCulloch scored 18, Tara Russell and Evie Selby 16 and Will Gove and Livvy Mason-Myhill 15. The top team was Bill, Sue and Sarah (aided by Malcom and Edie) with 23. The King’s Head drinkers of Peter, Stacey, Kevin and Amanda scored 22, Alex and Leigh 20 and Adam Batstone and Lucy Thorpe 19. David and Gillian and the Broad Oak Boozers of Thom, Danny, Craig and Tim both scored 18 and the Port Camargue Oyster Crew of Oli, Vic, George and Rex 15. Here is this week’s newsquiz. Give it a go and see if you can beat Evie and Lotte's 20.
