Sport has always been central to my life. I played a vast number of sports at school and college but actually gained representative honours in five at county level or above, with rugby and swimming being my main focus. After training as a teacher, I spent 37 fulfilling years working in London, Cheltenham, and Witney, specialising in PE and outdoor education.
