After the founder members who formed the club, Cis is the primary reason that the Kingston Phoenix has lasted to 2008. She was unofficial club secretary during the war years when all of the young men were called away, in turn, to fight, and provided a focal point for them all to remain in contact with the club and each other while they were away. This was followed by a five year stint as the official Club Secretary at the end of the forties and into the fifties.
Cis was very active in club life, setting most of the club Ladies records and breaking many of her own records several times. She married Bert George (originally of the TudorCC, then a Phoenix member) and the pair continued to be active in club life for many years, until their move to Wales. Cis continued to take an active interest in the Phoenix until the end, being sad not to be with us for the 70th Anniversary celebrations.
