I am a retired teacher who worked for many years teaching English and Drama at Secondary level in Lichfield schools. I have filled the gap from work with many activities, painting being the one which has given me most pleasure and I still spend lots of time on it. I did feel that I wanted to do something properly meaningful and when my grandson started his education here at Chadsmead, I became interested in becoming a member of the SSC. I am now very pleased to be on such a lively, committed committee.
