Warminsterpeople Profile

Warminsterpeople Profile - features a different Warminster

personality each week. 

 This week’s profile has been completed by Adela

Forestier-Walker who was nominated by Susi Tenty of Centre Stage see .

Adela moved to Warminster in 1981 with her husband Alan>  Originally  they lived in Army quarters, and then (like so many army families

before and since) found that Warminster was where they wanted to settle and

raise their family.  They bought their

first house in Longbridge Deverill.

Adela’s greatest commitment in the area has been to the

Athenaeum where she is a Trustee.  Having

acted for many years, and also directed, she is now attending acting classes

run by actor Mark McGann – and unlearning and re-learning about the art!

Her hopes for the future include watching  her grandchildren grow up alongside her

husband and children for many years to come, and seeing the Athenaeum fully

restored and used all the time.
