Susie Venner, Chairman of VETTS -
"Betty was a legend in the veteran table tennis community. Although she moved to Australia many years ago, she retained her close connections with her many friends in England and abroad through her membership of the VETTS and her participation in international veterans’ competitions. “Betty won numerous medals at the European and World Veterans Championships and still fought as hard on the table as a veteran as she did in her youth. “Many tributes have been paid to her from her friends in the VETTS and words like ‘legend’, ‘icon’, ‘great ambassador for the sport’ and ‘inspiration’ are a fitting description of Betty and the impact she had on table tennis – and that table tennis had on her – throughout her life.”
