Social Hour Secretary: Margaret Davidson

Both my sister and I were born in Bolton, and baptised at what is now St. Andrew’s and St. George’s URC. When I was seven we moved to Farnworth, (though we both continued to attend Sunday School at our previous Church) I joined my mother in the choir at sixteen years of age, and was both a Brownie Guider and Sunday School teacher for many years. It was at this point that I started work, after qualifying as a comptometer operator. I worked for a variety of companies, including work as an auditor for five years. Music has always played an important part in my life, from Amateur Operatics to the Bolton Choral Union.
I married Neville, a widower, in 1970, when I also became stepmother to Philip, then aged twelve. Philip and Yvonne married in 1980, and in 1995 adopted a sister and brother; Emma is now fifteen years old, and Sean thirteen. I became the Social Hour Secretary at Hale URC some fifteen years ago, and, as well as a number of other activities, I am a member of Ringway and Hale Barns WI.
