Head of Athletics at King’s College, Taunton.
Previously I was Secretary of SWAL and TAC, South West lead on cross country and helped to establish clubs and leagues in different parts of Britain. Long ago, I was a club standard athlete with various clubs around Britain. My greatest enjoyment is drawn from seeing athletes develop their skills whilst having fun, whatever their level of success, and encouraging others to hone their skills as organisers, coaches and managers to make this possible.
