April 1957
Alice seems to be busy during April 1957 as there is only
one letter to her parents lodged in the Bedford Physical Education Archive for
that month. The letter is sent from The
Hayes Conference Centre in Swanwick where she is at a Christian Conference and
appears to be part of the Executive Committee as she is attending a meeting
which is going to last all day.
She is very taken with the
Anglican Evangelist Rev. Dick Rees who is one of the speakers and also a
Mr Aldis and Major Batt whom she says are ‘both very helpful, inspiring
Christian men’
On a lighter note there seems to be evening entertainment
where some of the groups have put on skits, Bedford College of Physical Education
have dressed in shorts and gone barefoot
‘and took the mickey out of various people who had tried to do the same
to us’
April 1957 seems to have been a very cold month and Alice
is pleased she had taken her winter clothes with her but has still managed to
get a cold. Although she has obviously
enjoyed her stay she is tired and is suffering from ‘spiritual indigestion’ but
feels it has been a lovely preparation for Easter.
