1st September 1988 - 8th October 2025
I started as a school governor when I had a phone call from the Rector. A little surprised, but flattered, I agreed - and then found that being the clerk to the governors came with the job. That was all right, I could take minutes and touch type and it was a good way to get involved from the start.
First school governor, high school governor, academy trustee, member of multi-academy trust, some jobs overlapping, all voluntary, all taking a lot of time, expertise and dedication. But last school year, I didn't have the time and wasn't doing the job as it should have been done and I knew I had to step up or bow out. I chose the second option.
I sometimes just kept things going, along with the rest and sometimes made a real difference. I made one poor decision and learned a lot from it. All forgotten now, it's a long time ago.

37 years of public service and dedication - wow, well done. It's people like you who should get gongs not sportsmen, politicians and the hairdressers of politicians' wives. I do hope that 'they' will be organising an appropriate tribute/presentation.

Such dedication. I certainly admire you. Glenda
I'm glad to have done it, but it's a long time ago. I still care, but I can't start again and I'm too old to be useful - it's all too different now.
