Shirley with the Vice President of FINA, Bill Matson (NZL) and the President of FINA, Mustapha Larfaoui (ALG), on the occasion of the opening ceremony of the FINA Masters World Championships in Perth, April. Shirley gets to hob-nob with all sorts of people but attests to not being old enough to compete in masters water polo or swimming!

Shirley with the Lord Mayor of Manchester, Glynn Evans, and the Lady Mayoress Hayley Evans on the occasion of the XII FINA World Short Course Swimming Championships in April, 2008. Glynn was effusive and funny and made us feel welcome in his palatial Town Hall. He even sent beer to my husband when none was on the menu.
