The Ladies ...
| Miss Violet Brown, Eriyal, Bonnington Avenue, assumed responsibilities
of " Wardrobe Mistress" to the Court characters three years ago and has
diligently carried out her duties of ensuring that the costumes are
ready for the great occasion. Miss Brown has herself sponsored many
outstanding entries in past processions. |
 |
Mrs Andrew Jamieson, 1 Wellington Terrace, came to Lanark 7 years ago
and became involved in the instruction of the Lanimer Queen and her
Court in deportment and Court dances. Mrs Jamieson has discharged this
duty regularly for the past 5 years and for the past 6 years she has
trained the dancers and produced the country dancing at the Cross on
Monday night prior to the shifting of the Standard. |
 |
Mrs Elsie W. Hendrie, 3 Ridgepark Drive, has been concerned with the
training of the Queen's Court in all aspects of procedure and deportment
and for the Court Dances at the Reception for some 18 years being
latterly associated with Mrs Jamieson in this important feature of the
Lanimer preparations. Mrs Hendrie crowned the Queen in 1966. |
