On Saturday, 8 November 2008 I went with a group of City Synergy chums to a commemoration of the end of WWI on 11 November 1918. THis event was held at Newhaven Fort, about 9 miles east of Brighton. I have a family connection with the Fort because my late father, a gunnery expert whose military career was in the Royal Artillery had been Commandant of the Fort in the 1960s. At that time, the Fort was the centre for arranging for the disposal of World War 2 bombs on the South Downs. These were mainly British mortar shells that remained from testing ranges on the Downs. People will know that quite often mortar shells do not explode on impact but may do so many years or decades later.

I am a Campaigner on several issues. The main one at the local level is to make the public space more attractive and accessible to everyone. As a person with both sight and hearing problems this is a cause very dear to my heart. I also campaign against ill-thought-out building developments. I am active on a national and international level with such bodies as Sense and RNIB. In addition I am an active member of Families Need Fathers (FNF) which campaigns for equal access to children by both parents following family breakdown.
