Dame Beryl becomes the Funds' new Patron

The Fund is thrilled to announce that Dame Beryl Grey has agreed to stay on as the Fund's Patron, since retiring as Chairman last December. Dame Beryl was a Trustee of the Fund since 1983, and its Chairman since 1992.

At a lunch held for Dame Beryl at Cafe des Amis, she said it has been her privilege to chair the Fund which Dame Ninette de Valois herself had founded with Arnold Haskell and Donald Albery.
