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
Hello Z,
Many years of public service which is unusual today for people to make this kind of commitment. Congratulations. We are sure that you will be very much missed.
We were delighted to find you still giving service in Blogland and shall look forward to returning here.
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.
Jane and Lance, how lovely to hear from you again. Yes, still blogging after all these years, though not so regularly at the moment.
