| The branch was founded in 1988, with 14 members by Mrs
Tonziel of Middlesborough. As word got round, it soon developed to about 50
members, meeting monthly. Mrs Gwyneth Friday was appointed secretary in 1990,
and once more membership increased.
Based in Middlesborough meetings are held on the 4th Wednesday of the month
at 1330 in the Settlement Community Centre, Union Street.
The branch has approximately 60 members most of whom are ex-ATS, there is
however, a growing number of ex-WRAC joining the branch and a monthly evening
meeting has been arranged so that they can also met up.
The branch members get involved in lots of events, one member (Brenda
Horness], rode at the top of the pyramid with the Royal Signals White Helmets,
at a display in Catterick (aged 70!!).
The branch has also taken part in many organised events, trips to the
Cenotaph in November, France with the Dunkirk Veterans, the Grand Reunions are
a favourite, and the Farewell to the WRAC at Guildford.
The branches pride and joy is their Standard. Their Standard bearer is Ann
Mahony, who travels to lots of events with the Standard. |

Not
too much seemed to have happened until I started putting pen to paper – so
here we go. We are saving up for
a new standard. Ours is getting a
bit tired as it is out almost every week of the year (and our Bearer – Ann
Mahony is always with it!)
At
present we are preparing for our Veterans Party in June – red, white and
blue will be the colours of the day I think along with plenty of good food.
Then in July we are hopefully all ready for a coach trip to Raby
Castle. ATS ladies served there
during the War (and a lot of men I am reliably informed!).
After a few hours looking round the gardens and Castle we hope to
splash out on what we ladies do best – afternoon tea.
Cleveland Branch seems to do an awful lot of eating!
How
proud we were to see on TV about the ladies having a look around the Chelsea
Hospital and maybe soon moving in. One
of the last bastions of male territory is about to be invaded by us.
Our Secretary, Gwyn Friday, is talking about the Branch taking a trip
down to London to meet the FIRST Lady Beefeater, then going to have tea with
the Old Boys at Chelsea before the ladies in scarlet tunics arrive.
So very well done ladies!
September
sees the Northern Area reunion – this year to be held in Middlesbrough –
look forward to seeing all Northern ladies there enjoying the food (here I do
again talking about food) and good company!
Since I stopped smoking, four months and seven days ago, food is almost
my old thought – well almost!
To
the WRAC Dinner Club girls – see you all in Liverpool for our 10th
Birthday Party.
