How did you find out about GCN?

  • Through my involvement in Friends of Chopwell Wood.

Why did you get involved with GCN?

  • I have volunteered in many ways in my home area since I was a young man. I still wear many hats and first got involved as a representative to GCN for Friends of Chopwell Wood many years ago. 
  • Always interested in local affairs without wishing to get involved in ‘politics’, I felt The Network was the best forum to be a part of. 
  • I am particularly interested in and involved with the Environment which, today, I fear takes a back seat in too many instances.

Why join GCN?

  • Because like me where I see or hear of anomalies, you can have my say at GCN, knowing that your argument, can and will, be taken forward to the appropriate level if necessary.
