Memories of Pam

Pam was a larger-than-life presence whose energy and generosity touched many circles. She was an active member of The Clifton Club, where she served on the Committee, enjoyed her time with the Petrolheads, and was a keen snooker player. Through Young Bristol, she supported and championed many young people, always encouraging them to aim high. A passionate gardener, Pam was also involved with the National Gardens Scheme, sharing her love of gardens and opening them up for others to enjoy.
