Having grown up in south London, I attended Mayfield School in Putney, and then went to the Eastman Dental Hospital to train as a Dental nurse, remaining there for three years.

 

I then changed course working at “London Airport” as a Ground hostess for the Savoy and Claridges hotel group. 

 

On my marriage to Robbie in 1964 I moved to Hertfordshire where I lived for 38years. 

 

After the death of my youngest son from Cystic fibrosis I set up a Parent Support Group in Watford and also became Chairman of the Herts and beds C.F. trust, working as a volunteer for over 25years. During this time I returned to dental nursing, working in the Orthodontic dept. at Watford General Hospital until I retired in 2003.

 

My main interest has always been all aspects of the theatre, particularly in the amateur world. I joined Watford Operatic Society in 1982 taking part in 17 shows until I felt it more appropriate to move “back stage” and work there! I was Chairman for several years and am now proud to be their Vice President.

 

I was widowed in 1990, and after my retirement I decided to move to the seaside, hence my arrival in Rustington four years ago .I was pleased to see that  Rustington had a branch of U3A as I had been in the Watford U3a for several years. I soon joined the Gardening, Digital Camera and Art groups and I look forward to serving as your Welcoming Officer.

 

I moved to the South Coast determined not to get involved?!!!!!!
