Biography

[edit]

Born Beatrice Gooding in 1920 in Cardiff, she married the leading Welsh fencing coach Professor Glynne S. Reynolds in 1940 and started fencing in 1952.[2] In February 1957, the family, which included four children; Andrew, Robert, Valerie and Frances, all emigrated to Southern Rhodesia. At the time Jackie (as she was known) was a member of the Cardiff Fencing Club and was a four-times Welsh foil champion.[3]

She subsequently competed for Southern Rhodesia at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games held in Cardiff, Wales[4] participating in the individual foil event.[5]

Four years later she appeared at a second Commonwealth Games but this time was representing the 1962 Welsh team[6] at the 1962 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Perth, Australia,[7] where she participated in the individual foil event once again.[8]

One of her sons Robert Reynolds also competed at the same Games.[9][10]

Robert, her other son Andrew Reynolds and her daughter Frances Reynolds would compete at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Kingston, Jamaica and the 1970 British Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh.[11]
