We offer our congratulations to Mr F. R. Palmer, Assistant
Branch Manager on his appointment to |

Branch Manager,
Liverpool. His stay at Newcastle has been for the relatively
short period of 3 years but as we know that both he and his
wife have enjoyed being in this area we sincerely trust that
his move to Liverpool will be equally successful and enjoyable.
Mr Palmer's successor at Newcastle is Mr D. H. Briggs, at
present local Manager Westmorland Office and to him and his
family we extend the warmest of `Geordie' welcomes.
Since our last entry in `White & Red', Mr Richard Gray
and Mr Keith Pringle have left us for Lancaster and Preston
offices respectively. They will now be well settled in, and
we extend belated congratulations on their promotions.
More recently, Mr T. Slassor, claims department, has left
us for Southern parts, to be more exact, Birmingham Office.
From what we have heard the work is very much to his taste
but his palate is missing the taste of Newcassel Broon Ale.
Mr J. C. Moat has joined us from the `Household & General'
and is now our Resident Inspector at Darlington. We wish him
every success in his appointment.
On the sporting side, the Provincial Seven-a-Side football
team were defeared `unluckily' 8-3 in the 1st round of the
Mallett Shield competition by the `Bradford & Pennine'.
On the news of this defeat the girls immediately challenged
the gallant losers to a game of netball and the result is
still a source of argument in the Office. |
