Members of the 32 Club, who saw the first edition of the Evening Post roll off the presses 70 years ago, were treated to a slap-up meal by editor Mike Lowe and Bristol United Press chief executive Alan Goode.
The Post was launched as a rival to Associated Newspapers' Bristol Evening World on April 18, 1932.

A pair of entertainers have boosted the Torquay Herald Express Heart Appeal by donating a slice of some court winnings to the cause.
They won the cash after a hotel backed out of a booking contract and gave £100 as a thank you to the Musicians' Union, which supported them in their fight and has several members who have suffered from heart problems in the past.

Planning permission has been granted for the West Briton headquarters at Lemon Quay, Truro, to be converted into either a pub/restaurant or two leisure units.
Cornwall and Devon media Ltd is moving to purpose-built premises next to the riverside.

The man who designed the Bristol Evening Post's landmark headquarters building on Temple Way has died, at the age of 81.
John Collins also designed the HTV building on Bath Road, Bristol, and the Dickinson Robinson Group skyscraper, once the tallest building in the region.

The Liverpool Echo is calling on readers to help extend its Stop the Rot campaign to save threatened city landmarks.
Ten buildings have already started renovations since the campaign began and the Echo is now looking for advice to find six more sites to earmark for refurbishment.

Former Express & Echo staff were reunited at an annual get-together where managing director Ivor Bull told them of the newspaper's highlights of 2002.
Current staff also attended the event, at Exeter's Southgate Hotel.
