LAUREEN PALMER - QUEEN 2010 - 2014
Queen Laureen did a great job as Queen upon Maggie’s retrement and then handed over the crown and regalia to Queen Jane, previously Vice Queen in 2014.
JANE REES - QUEEN 2014 - 2022
Queen Laureen handed over the crown to Jane in 2014 and she has run the chapter with determination and tried to keep the chapter alive through difficult times due to the Coronavirus pandemic. In April 2022 she handed over the mantle to Sandy Trott, a fairly new member of the chapter, who moved to Colchester in 2020.
SANDY TROTT QUEEN 2022 - 2024
Sandy moved to Colchester in March 2020, and immediately contacted the local Red Hat groups in the area. After meeting Jane and some of the group, she made friends and enjoyed being part of the 'Red Hat' family. In December 2021, she was asked, by Queen Jane, if she would take over as the time was right for Jane to step back slightly. Jane is still a valued member and supports Sandy immensely in running the group
