i.          Alexandra Palace Television Group

The Committee received the written presentation by John Thompson, Alexandra Palace Television Group, which provided a background to the organisation and detailed achievements including campaigning to protect the Palace’s television heritage and the current exhibition displayed in Studio A.  The Group’s aim was to work with the General Manager, Alexandra Palace to develop the television studios into a world class visitor attraction.

In response to questions from Committee Members it was noted that the Group’s application to English Heritage to upgrade the listing status for the studios did not include the television mast, which is the oldest working television mast in the world, installed by Marconi.

RESOLVED to note the presentation.
