Forest Forge has been one of the essential threads woven into the cultural fabric of the New Forest for over 40 years and Miranda has been supporting Forest Forge since she went to see Jane and the Dragon with her small children in Fordingbridge Town Hall 35 years ago. Those children now bring their own small children to the Christmas show, giving them their first taste of live theatre. A retired doctor who has worked locally in Hospitals, General Practice and Rehabilitation services for 50 years, Miranda has, throughout that time, been a keen supporter and participant in the local art scene. She also brings a history of 12 years of work as a New Forest District Councillor to the Board. She has been a member of the board for many years and Chair several times!
