I joined Maltby and Rother Valley Lions Club in June 2004 since then organised fundraising stalls at many events including the clubs stand at Rotherham show for four years.

I enjoy working for lions.my favourite fundraiser being the sleigh run at Christmas.

Away from my work with the lions I am Self-employed and work on local markets. My hobbies when I have time are coarse fishing, football I had a season ticket at Leeds united for 27 years and attended every match home and away for 17 years I have also attended matches at 74 of the 92 league grounds. As of 2013, my main hobby is photography. I have won several photo competitions including lions district 105C and was a finalist in the multi district competition. I have also had photos published in Yorkshire life magazine, Leeds united monthly magazine, matchday programme, Yorkshire post and Yorkshire evening post several times.
