I'm knocking on a bit now and have been a Retained Firefighter at Godalming for 33 years. I joined in October 1975 and received my training at our Brigade Headquarters in Reigate the following year.

I'm married to Sue and have a Daughter Clair, and a Son Paul. My pastimes include Travel, Scuba Diving, Clay Pigeon Shooting, Computing and until a while ago Pistol Shooting.

I was employed at British Aerospace Dunsfold, "Home of the Harrier" for 15 years. For 8 years as an Aerodrome Firefighter. Then because the shift system was restructured, I was unfortunately moved to the Security Section, where I spent the remaining 7 years. The site at Dunsfold has now been closed, and I have been made redundant. I have now taken on the task of "Househusband" as my wife has a full time job.
