Audrey Pound

Audrey Pound is a founder member of the Society - and she is also the member who travels the greatest distance - from Gloucester. She did this happily enough for about 15 years but then she responded to the call for a Programme Secretary. Not only were we grateful for her response at a  time of need but she also brought with her professional efficiency which will be difficult to replace.  Audrey is, therefore, a most worthy Life Member of our Society.
