Interests

Brenda Meldrum is an inspirational figure, especially for the Prompt Corner Youth Theatre,which I believe she started. She certainly taught Saturday classes there for many years. I remember her as a kind, friendly and dedicated lady, opening up her lovely home in Kent for fabulous summer parties for all the Youth theatre members - some of my best childhood memories are thanks to her!
