I was born and bred in Weedon and have seen many changes in the village. Over the years I have been involved with most of the local community groups helping organise their events.

In recent years I became a trustee of the Weedon Sports Association and have been involved with the Weedon Weekender from the start in 2012 with the Jubilee celebrations – there are those of you that will also remember me as the Village Cryer and yes, if you are a dog owner, I am the guy with a pocket full of dog treats!

Being involved with the fabric of the village for so long I am privileged to have been accepted onto the Parish Council, willing to serve the village and making our community a friendlier and more enjoyable place to live.

Outside my other duties, spare time is spent watching Northampton Town Football Club.
