Anne writes: "In Margaret Thatcher's
day I was heavily involved in Conservatives and ended up being a
representative for Wales Women on the National Women's Committee, and
went to a reception at Downing Street. I
got the Badge of Honour for Distinguished Service in 1992 for my work
and fund-raising for the Red Cross.
