Horley’s Dame Picks Her Favourite Desert Island Discs

Horley’s very special Dame, Glenys Kyle, (of Rowarth House opposite the church), appeared on Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs on Sunday, choosing 8 of her favourite discs and 1 luxury item with which she would chose to be cast away.

It is an illuminating programme, where Glenys (who is publicly known as Dame Glenys Stacey) talks about various experiences of her life from childhood through 40 years of public service, where her last post was as her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Probation.

To listen to Dame Glenys’ castaway interview on BBC Catch up and hear about the work which earned her a damehood (as well as her thwarted dalliance with T Rex!), click here.

Charity Quiz Raises Over £600!

Well done to the Ladies Guild who raised £623.75 for the charity Breast Cancer Now in the recent Family Charity Quiz.

A Big Thank You to everyone involved – including the organisation and the generous bidding for the auction prizes.

Congratulations to ‘The Apprentices’, the winning team!
