When the National Association of Schoolmasters and the Union of Women Teachers amalgamated to form NAT/UWT in the mid 70s, Christine Maslen, who died on January 22, this year, was one of several UWT members who immediately took an active part in the local association and the Wiltshire Federation.

Colleagues will remember her quiet but determined professionalism during the period of secondary school reorganisation in the 80s.
