Marlene remains a branch member to date.
Marlene was a founding member of the Hyden Branch in 1981.
It was Gwen Walton who talked Marlene into taking on the editing of ‘Pedals’, a job which she really enjoyed and was sorry to give up, but it is important to move on and let others have a go. Oh, how she wishes technology had been further advanced in those days - no internet, no computers, just an electric typewriter!
Whilst enjoying Federal Conferences, putting faces to names, Marlene spent a good portion of time at four of them trying to put together a pedals report. Her very first presentation was at Dubbo Conference. She felt totally calm, cool and collected whilst addressing the large gathering – then walked to the back of the room and had to sit quickly - her legs suddenly feeling like jelly.
