After working in the Antique trade restoring lighting, I came to Herongate Club 17 years ago as a favour to cover for someone one Saturday morning and have stayed ever since. I love the interaction with members and staff, outside of work I love gardening and spending time with my two granddaughters.

Hi, I'm Geordie. Originally from "up north", Hungerford is now my home, having been here since I joined Kerridge back in 1983. I was heavily involved in Herongate Leisure from its inception to completion in 2003. Now retired, it gives me great pleasure to be the chair of trustees, particularly since we achieved charitable status in 2022.
