PAMELA DELL

On January 1st 1985 Mrs Pamela Dell will take over the hall caretaking job and so return the duties to the family held for half a century by Mrs Min Adams.   Pam’s husband Michael is Mrs. Adam’ grandson.

Hallmark December 1989. This year we said thank you and goodbye to several stalwarts.   Pam Dell has been caretaker and booking secretary for five years.   Ably assisted by her husband Mick she has maintained a high standard of cleanliness and a most efficient booking secretary.   Being caretaker of a public amenity is rather like being a traffic warden.   Most people are civil to you most of the time, but you become instantly unpopular when it becomes necessary to draw attention to a yellow line.   Pam has undertaken her responsibilities with consistency and conscientiousness.   My thanks to her and her family.

Hallmark December 1989. Anniversary Dance.

The profit from this very enjoyable evening was £248. We now know it was bad planning to clash with Bonfire Night, nevertheless it was a good effort, our thanks to Pat and all the ladies who provided a first class meal and to Pam and Michael at the bar.

Hallmark September 1999. Obituary of Michael Dell, husband of Pam. written by 'a villager'

It was with a profound sense of loss that the Village heard of the death of Michael Dell at the tragically early age of 48.

Mick had lived in the village all his life, and went to the village school as did many of the family before him. After this he went on to Wellesbourne school, where his early love of sport bore fruit and he represented them at football. On leaving school his father and uncle took him into the family building business, where he took up the trade of bricklaying, eventually becoming an acknowledged master craftsman, working in the favoured local materials of brick and flint. Untold numbers of local properties bear witness to his skills. In due course he was able to turn his abilities to very good account, when he built his own house in Westlands Road on a plot of land, given to him by his grandparents.

Prior to this he had married Pam, and they had three children over the course of the following years, Peter, Pauline and Christine.

During this time also he pursued his active interest in sport on behalf of Lacey Green, until a knee injury forced him from the football field, and the loss of an eye to a virus brought about his retirement from cricket. In addition, having been taken to Highbury as a boy by his father Bill, Mick was an unshakeable Arsenal supporter, and was never slow to let you know how well they were doing!

Always a lover of good company, Mick loved his Monday nights in winter with The Whip crib and dominoes team, and all who either played with him or against him, will miss those joyous shouts of laughter which were never far away.

The Village turned out in fore to say their last farewells at St. John's Church, and deepest condolences are offered to his wife Pam and their children, to Bill and Phyllis his parents, and to his brothers and sister on their sad loss.
