We were saddened to learn of the death of Sandra Barton on 9th April.
Sandra was a great friend to Wetherby Speakers Club. Over the years she regularly attended our dinners, judged our contests and was a constant source of advice, wisdom and humour. She was a member of Leeds SC and when the club folded she joined Wharfedale SC.
Sandra was probably the first lady to visit Wetherby Speakers Club when we became a mixed club many years ago.
She was a great servant to the ASC and was National President in 2002-3, only the second lady to hold that office. The picture is from her presidential year handing the Speaker of the Year trophy to Simon Weston in Cardiff in January 2003.
