Career

Foster, from Tamworth, was runner-up in the Pontins women's championships three times, in 1977, 1978 and 1982; and was national women's champion in 1980, 1982 and 1983.
The 1983 World Ladies Snooker Championship was sponsored by Pontins and held at their Brean Sands Holiday Park, Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset. Foster won the tournament, and the £2,000 prize, by defeating Maureen Baynton, from Ewell, 8–5 in the final. The Observer noted that this was £28,000 less than the £30,000 that Steve Davis received for winning the men's World Snooker Championship that season.
Foster had reached the semi-final in 1981, where she lost 0–3 to Vera Selby. In 1980 she lost 0–3 to Natalie Stelmach in the quarter-final. She retired from competitive snooker in 1984.
