I started playing with a leather ball with yellow laces in 1976, played through school and the Army, became Chair of Swanage & Wareham Mini & Youth alongside refereeing for D&W and the Army and Combined Services (UKAF).
I served on the ExCo of the Combined Service Rugby Board for 4 years, am a member of both Army & D&W Discipline Panels and a MoD/PR, and as well as intending to carry on my refereeing I am currently Chair of Dorset & Wilts Society of RFU Referees.
