LINDA GAINSBURY RIP

 

The Trustees of the London Ballet Circle are all deeply saddened to hear the news of Linda Gainsbury’s passing. 

 

Linda was a tour de force for us handling all facets of our organisation for over 5 years as a trustee.  When she became ill and stepped down from her responsibilities, a number of new trustees were brought on board to take over all the roles she had managed alone.  

 

Since retiring from the LBC, Linda  continued to support each of us with advice, suggestions for improvements, and much appreciated words of thanks after successful events.  

 

Members will have seen Linda via Zoom interviewing many dancers for the LBC In Conversation events during the COVID pandemic. 
 

A fuller tribute will follow in our next newsletter in June.

 

She will be greatly missed by both trustees and members.
