I enjoy volunteering, mainly in and around the village of Great Bedwyn. My current activities are:

​

• Active member of the Footpaths Group. This mainly involves clearing footpaths, erecting signs and mending stiles.

• Active member of the Bedwyn Trains Passenger Group. Please see www.bedwyntrains.org.uk for details of our activities. Please also see the Rail Campaigning page.

• I maintain the Croquet Club Pavilion and am working on a project to share the facility with the Youth Group.

• I am a member of the 'Great Bedwyn Playingfield And Village Hall' committee.

• I'm part of a campaign to get a monument to Charlie Chaplin constructed at the Elephant and Castle (near to his birthplace).

​

In the past:

​

• I set up the first website for Great Bedwyn.

• I co-organised two charity revues in the village hall. Raising money for the Tsunami appeal and UNICEF. 

• I was involved in the campaign to bring broadband to the village.

• Along with a small group of other villagers I was involved in successfully rescuing Great Bedwyn Post Office in 2008.

• I restored the pumping station building at Wexcombe.

• I was involved in an unsuccessful attempt to buy back the British Legion builing for the village. However, this project did uncover a piece of land that was successfully sold to a developer and raised £50,000 for our Village Hall. I underwrote the legal bills to ensure this sale went through.
