- Redbridge Music Service Choral Festival took place
The Redbridge Music School biennial performance at the Royal Albert Hall took place.
1968 performers from 55 schools took part in the choral festival.
I have not found out if pom poms were used for any songs, they were banned last time for being a fire hazard. Having participated in two of festivals myself, I know that the children involved will NOT forget the experience for the rest of their lives. It is quite an experience, the size and acoustics of the hall are amazing and to be part of a choir that size is unforgettable.

- Gants Hill Odeon to close.
 The Gants Hill Odeon, perhaps the only constant at Gants Hill Roundabout, is to close. It will be shut after Easter 2002.
It could be turned into a church for the Seventh Day Adventists. Mike Gapes applied to have the building listed last year, but was turned down as there were too many internal alterations. The building first opened as The Savoy on 1934.
By the time it closes, the new Ilford Cinema complex will be open.
