RIP Dorothy Manley

We were extremely sad to hear of the passing of Olympic sprint medallist Dorothy Manley recently, at the age of 94.

Dorothy had been a member of Essex Ladies and took silver in the 100m at the London Olympics in 1948.

Athletics Weekly have done a nice tribute to a wonderful athlete:

The club sends its condolences to Dorothy's family and friends.
