The Society’s records
Everything the Society’s own records say of Irene Surgenor: the offices held, the standings conferred, and the awards won. Where the records are silent, so is this part of the page.
Also recorded as Irene Surgener
Certification
- Associate of the CSCL 1953
Contemporary corroboration: `1952-53-winter` p7 names her among exhibitors at a Cornwall-area show, and `1953-spring` p8 lists a carved handbag ("Petunia" design) entered under her name at Cornwall in a scored competition table; `1954-spring` p7 credits her demonstrating gusset construction at a travelling exhibition. The name is not in dispute; only the c. 1985 list's date needed a contemporary source.
