He was thanked for presenting an amusing and informative talk.
Alan Quick, the Editor of the Crediton Courier, was the guest speaker at a recent meeting of Mid Devon Tractor Engine and Machinery Group.
Alan talked about the history of the newspaper, his years of work at the newspaper over the years, 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 Courier began in December 1974 and Alan talked about how it started as a monthly publication before becoming fortnightly and then weekly and about the digital aspect where news is accessible within minutes on the Courier website and social media sites.
Alan also spoke about interesting and humorous stories and incidents he has reported on during his long service with the newspaper.
A party to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Crediton Courier newspaper was held in November.
The event saw scores of guests go along to the Boniface Centre to mark the occasion.
