I have been a member of the Association for many years and have attended various events when possible. Always willing to do my bit, I have demonstrated my organisational skills by organising 2 very successful Wrens Out Walking events in Aberdeenshire and Falkirk, and helped with Wrens 100 in Scotland.

Until I left the NCS 3 years ago I was always trying to encourage the serving RN females to join the AOW but they believe that Association is not for them because they were not in the Wrens. I would like the opportunity to help change this way of thinking and bring more awareness to them that the Association is there for all of us. Having served both WRNS and RN, I believe times change and we need to understand these changes and move with it, without losing touch with our roots and ethos.

As I now work part-time, I feel I now have the capacity to dedicate time to the Association. Living north of the border, it would be good to have representation from Scotland on the Board of Trustees and be the link for all members.
