Dawson’s story “No Choice” was the sub-


jectofMrsJudithDawson’s - talk at the first meeting of the . newyearoftheAVI. - Mrs Dawson had always


wanted to teach and was happily following her career when sadly and suddenly her husband died. Because she wanted to give her three children the opportunity of


joining the family firm, she, said she had no choice but to become managing director of Dawson’s shop and has been dedicated to running the busi­ ness for the past 22 years. At first this was a great .


worry to her, but with the help of her staff and her own research the business began to grow, with all three of her children becoming


involved in its organisation and online shopping. Mrs


Dawson thought a small tea


room would be appropriate, but her son preferred a bigger venture. As Maxwell Dawson, her father-in-law, had come


out of retirement to help and advise, it was a natural choice


to name their new cafe/wine bar Maxwell’s. Mrs Dawson paid tribute to


her experienced staff for their' continued loyal support. Mrs Gill AVoods gave a vote


of thanks for an enlighten­ ing talk and passed on good ’ ■


wishes for the forthcoming-: ■ opening of Dawsons in Skip-


ton. Brian Berry will entertain at the birthday party on Febru­


, ary 11th. Tea hostesses are M.


Jackson, H. Morrison and K; • Mulligan.
