Co-ordinator role for Central, Eastern and the Women’s Estate. In 2007 I was acting Governor of Lincoln for 5 months covering sick absence. I retired from the service in June 2011 at the grade of Senior Manager C and the role of Regional Estates Manager for the East Midlands.
In 1998 I stood for election to the PGA National Executive Committee as the Works representative and in 2001 I was elected as a Vice President of the association, a position in which I served until 2008, when I stood down from both this position, and the NEC. After my retirement in 2011 I was awarded Distinguished Life Membership of the PGA. In 2012 I was asked to put myself forward for the position of Treasurer of the RPGA and having done so was duly elected to this role, which I continue to hold today. I married to my wife, Sandy in 1974 and we have 2 sons, the eldest is a sergeant in the police and the youngest is a doctor of nuclear physics. In retirement I have taken a part time role as a Funeral Home Steward and have found it to be an enlightening and humbling position, and one which I thoroughly enjoy.
