The table after the lunch before. Today is a day of news I've been expecting for a few years. The occasion was the production management Christmas lunch but the news which was announced was that our Unit Manager Kate Chaney is finally retiring at the end of March. She'll be 67 then and will have worked for the BBC for forty years, 25 in the radio department. Seven years ago it was thought Kate would retire but she has steadied the Network Audio ship through all its changes wonderfully. I've sometimes wondered how she has done it especially over the last few years with the merger of different departments. Kate will be a huge miss. And true to form she bought us all lunch in Starlings cafe in Clifton, on a wet if mild December day. The end of an era is coming.
