"Doreen: A Woman of Many Talents and Accomplishments" Doreen Davey, an extraordinary woman, made headlines in 1923 when she caught a record-breaking Wye salmon. Her fishing prowess was unmatched, showcasing her determination and skill. In October 1922, Doreen's artistic side shone through as she captured the beauty of six dancers in stunning portraits. Her ability to capture movement and grace on canvas was truly remarkable. Not only was Doreen a talented artist and angler, but she also held the title of Viscountess St Davids. This noble position spoke volumes about her esteemed status within society. Doreen's name even appeared in Vanity Fair in December 1901 when she was featured in a colorful lithograph cartoon alongside General H L Smith-Dorien. This whimsical portrayal showcased her sense of humor and playful nature. Her love for animals extended beyond fishing; Fall, her Kerry Blue Terrier companion, brought joy into her life. Their bond exemplified loyalty and companionship between human and pet. Murrays Cabaret Club recognized Doreen's creative flair by designing captivating costumes for their performances. Her involvement with this prestigious club highlighted her passion for entertainment and fashion. Motorsports enthusiasts may remember Doreen as one half of the dynamic duo Kenneth and Doreen Evans who participated in various trials throughout the 1930s with their MG J2s and NA Magnettes cars. Their competitive spirit fueled their success on challenging terrains like Tarr Steps on Exmoor or during the Sunbac Inter-Club Team Trial. The B&HMC Brighton-Beer Trial saw Doreen fearlessly navigate Fingle Bridge Hill behind the wheel of an MG J2 car. Her determination to conquer difficult obstacles demonstrated both her driving skills and adventurous spirit. Behind every successful racer is a team working tirelessly to ensure peak performance.
