Profile Bio
A police officer from 1974 to 2002. In 1995 I adopted a collie from Border Collie Trust and began volunteering at the newly opened rescue centre in 1997. In 2000 I was invited to join the Board of Trustees and from 2003 have been volunteering full time in support of our work in rescuing and rehoming Border Collies throughout the UK
A lover of vintage, especially the period from 1920'2 to late 1950's I'm also a presenter in the internet based 1940sRadio.com
Talk Description
Border Collie Trust. Our history, work and how I came to be involved
A talk for everyone, not just dog lovers. How Border Collie Trust originated, our work, the mystery behind the breed that is Border Collies and how decisions we make in life can steer us in a path we never imagined
Other Talks
Combining my love of vintage and a career in policing I also offer a talk on Policing in the 1940's
