Some years ago as a Guider in Somerset, I was fortunate to be able to go to Pax Lodge where Betty dedicated the foundation stone. I and two more Guiders shared a room with Betty. I woke up early in the morning and Betty was sitting up in bed writing letters.

She also presented me with my Campfire Leader's Certificate at the opening of Somermead our campsite, and on a never-to-be-forgotten occasion, she opened our shower block on the campsite dressed in a plastic mac and wellies!


[ Thank you, Jane, for that memory !
I have found her diary entry for that day, and put it into the "Library" under "Images / Diaries / 1998" - I'm afraid you're not mentioned, sorry !

Congrats on the web site.
I lived in Livingstone between October 1952 and February 1954. Betty Clay was the prime mover in organising "Correvue" for the Queen's Coronation and in persuading me to do a "Sam" monologue for it. I still have the programme and also the programme for the performance of the Messiah by the Livingstone Choral Society as well as a couple of photos of the group including both Clays. I remember visiting your house to rehearse the monologue with your mother. Will dig these ancient relics out and scan them for you if you are interested.
