Lorna James, from the admin team at the National Union of Journalists’ Annual Delegates Meeting, has won the Jeremy Dear opening speech sweepstake competition.
She pocketed £45 after correctly guessing the length of the General Secretary’s address to delegates this morning. It was 15 minutes and 16 seconds long.
“A few drinks…”
She told us what she plans to do with her winnings: “I’m sure that between the admin team we can get something out of it.”
“Maybe some biscuits, and a few drinks to say thank you for everyone that has helped out because everyone’s been really great.”
The competition has become ADM tradition, inspired by Jeremy’s past speeches which have been known to last for over 45 minutes.
This year saw Jeremy discussing topics such as the problems facing the NUJ and local news media.
