President Maggie Galan
Maggie is the third woman President of the Club. She is widowed with 3 grown up children and lives in Orwell. She and her husband bought Cromwell House, in Huntingdon, many years ago, renovated it and built 2 extensions to make Cromwell Clinic which she ran until her retirement 3 years ago.
Maggie trained as a nurse at Guys Hospital, London, worked for 2 years in Zambia in the Flying Doctor service and then in the copper mines. Her special interests are music, travelling, gardening, animals and eating.
Her goals for the club during her year as president are to raise even more money for local causes, contribute as much as possible to the International Fund to Eradicate Polio world wide, to enrol a few more members and to maintain a happy club with many interesting events and outings.
