Jenny’s the ‘new girl’ at TRIP
After 30 years as the face of Honiton Library, Jenny Wood MBE is now a volunteer at Honiton-based charity.
JENNY Wood MBE, who was the face of Honiton Library for more than three decades, is the ‘new girl’ at TRIP Community Transport Association.
She is a volunteer at the charity’s New Street office every Wednesday morning - and is busy reviving quizzes that were so popular at the library.
The first quiz sheet is on sale now, priced �1, and it is all about... transport.
Speaking of her new, voluntary role, Jenny told The Midweek Herald: “It’s lovely.
“I find it a bit strange being the new girl, but everybody is being very friendly and patient, because there is a lot to learn.”
The thought of putting her feet up in retirement didn’t appeal to Jenny.
