Event Information

To celebrate the YSTV's 40th birthday, we held a celebration on 30th June 2007. Taking place on the campus at the University of York, the event included brief talks about some of the most important events in YSTV's history and talks from some of the station's most notable alumni.

As well as the dinner and talks, many ex-members got to see YSTV's current studio (now in Goodricke G/046) and also to take a look at photos, videos and information from the station's archive. Much of this material was subsequently put into the YSTV 40 DVD to produce a permanent record of the event.

It provided a fantastic opportunity for many members, past and present to meet up with the key people from across the station's history, as well as their own friends from the station. After the dinner a Jazz quartet played for an hour or so, and then we all decamped into the bar to talk the night away until the event closed at 1am. Lots and lots of cameras were in evidence, and the resulting pictures have appeared on Facebook - some should make their way onto this site in the near future.

Dinner Menu

The dinner menu was as follows:

  • Crayfish Salad Cocktail with Lemon & Herbs -or- Vegetarian Caesar Salad with Parmesan and Herb Crutons
  • Seared Rump of Lamb with Petit Ratatouille, French Beans, Dauphinoise Potato and Thyme Gravy -or- Cheese and Parsnip Roulade with Sage and Onion Stuffing
