A retired chap interested in railways and rugby league! Involved in low-level local politics (Parish Council) and raising money to restore a famous church's roof! A father of two, daughter and son, and grand father of two boys. A life-long Manchester City and Swinton Lions RL fan. This year it will be 50 years since I first volunteered on the Ffestiniog Railway and it's still a top priority for me. My new partner and I live in Haworth, West Yorkshire and I am retired sports journalist and media manager.
