I started coming to St Andrew's in 1967 when I was 12, my parents had moved here and I joined the 1st Meols Boys' Brigade which was part of the Church.

I was ordained as an Elder in 1979.

I am a widower, but I have 2 adult children both married and living locally. My son has a daughter and my daughter has a son.

After a career in Financial Services I was lucky enough to take early retirement and have been surprised to find that I have no more spare time now than when I was working!
