Non Commodore

As of 9th April 2016 after three years I stood down as Commodore of Newhaven and Seaford Sailing Club.  My second venture into the world of volunteering, the first being VSO in Sri Lanka.  Check out http://www.nssc.org.uk/cms/ to see what's happening at the club.

NSSC Cadet week 2013, first one as Commodore, the sun shone all week and the wind was enough and not too strong for a change. A successful week for all concerned.

London 2012 Games Maker










My stint as a games maker at the Royal Artilliary Barracks, getting up at 4am catching the 5am bus from Crystal Palace for a 5.45am start.  The joys of volunteering, despite the early starts it was a brilliant experience, roll on Rio.  I managed to get tickets for the stadium so experienced the noise from a full house and do the mexican wave.

Rhossili - Cat sitting for last time







Alas Sophie the cat has passed away so my services are no longer needed.  I collected masses of driftwood for Adam, dried by the woodburner.
