Baby Comes First

Pretty, blonde, Maureen Kelly, a 19-years-old N.C.B. audio-typist, of Bondfield Crescent, Wombwell, loved her spare-time hobby of modelling on photographic assignments, but she has given it up in order to spend more time with her 16-months-old son, Simon Paul.

Says Maureen: “Because I have a regular job the only time I could spend with Simon was in the evenings, and I found that my modelling work interfered with this. My mother is so good in looking after him while I am out at work that I felt I had to devote more time to him. Perhaps I shall be able to return to modelling when he is older.”

Maureen’s modelling work was mainly at Sheffield and Rotherham.

She took up the hobby four or five months ago, and during at time achieved a lot of success. “I enjoyed the work very much,” she said.

Maureen’s other love is cricket, and when she watches her favourite team, Wombwell Main, she takes baby Simon with her.

She has been “steeped” in Wombwell Main sporting tradition, her father, Mr. Joe Utley, being one of the well-known sporting family who between them have given hundreds years of service to the club.

Mr. Utley was for many years the team scorer.

Maureen is employed at the N.C.B.’s headquarters outstation at Ardsley House, Barnsley, and is shortly to move with her department to Coal House, Doncaster.
