Carol Norman (nee Macquarie); Memories of Canvey Island's Distaff Club - Part 1

Distaff Badge

THE 'DISTAFF CLUB' IS A LADIES ONLY CLUB, NOT PC THESE DAYS.
DISTAFF MEANS THE FEMALE SIDE OF THE FAMILY, IT IS ALSO A LONG SINGLE IMPLEMENT FOR SPINNING, WHICH IS STILL IN USE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
ABOVE IS THE ORIGINAL BADGE FROM THE CLUB WHICH IT IS UP ON THE WALL IN FRONT OF MY COMPUTER"
