One of television’s great raconteurs will be reflecting on his 35 years in the media spotlight an event organised by The Journalists’ Charity in Ewloe.

“I am pleased to support the work of the Journalists’ Charity for not only does it look after those in the industry who need help, it also promotes professionalism throughout the media.
I am a passionate believer in the importance of a free and independent press. It is an essential ingredient of any democratic society. While we will never always agree with everything the media reports we must support its right to report it.
An evening with John Sergeant provides the ideal opportunity to celebrate the success of North Wales and Deeside while supporting a worthy cause. It is going to be fascinating to hear, first-hand, John’s insight into some of the most important events of the last 30 years or so.”
