North Walsham Opticians Celebrates 50 years in Business R M Ling finds longest served patient to mark occasion
North Walsham independent business R M Ling Opticians celebrated their 50th anniversary in the town on Thursday 8 October. To mark the occasion, the practice held three days of celebrations culminating in an anniversary party attended by North Walsham Mayor Cllr Brenda West. Also present was the practice’s longest served patient, Guest of Honour Mr Jan Fiszer from North Walsham.
Mr Fiszer has been a patient at R M Ling Opticians since February 1966, when he visited for an eye examination just three months after the practice opened. Now in his 49th year as a patient, Mr Fiszer was presented with a gift from the practice during the 50th anniversary party.
Practice visitors were able to enter a free raffle and enjoy refreshments and special discounts on spectacles. Also available to view were exclusive frame previews and a nostalgic display incorporating the town’s history and some optical history too. In the run up to the event, the practice also held a charity prize draw to raise funds for the North Norfolk Association for the Blind. The total raised is yet to be announced as donations continue to come in.
“We were delighted to see so many friends and patients over the course of our anniversary celebrations, and particularly thrilled to officially
