| Introduction | Friday, 1 July 2011My Blog and Me I was elected as a Conservative councillor for St John's Ward, Rushmoor Borough Council, in 2010. As a councillor, I sit on the Borough Services and Leisure and Youth Policy and Review Panels. Any views I express in this blog will be my own and may not reflect the views of the Conservative Group. But my primary aim is not to discuss my political views so much as the various community activities with which I'm involved. Born in Pirbright, I am mother of two and grandmother to six. A former teacher, I lived in southern California for many years before settling in Farnborough, Hampshire. I am a founder-member and secretary of The Farnborough Society, a trustee of Parity for Disability, President of Cove St John Ambulance and a school governor, and serve on the committees of Farnborough Business and Community Panel, Twinning Association of Rushmoor and Rushmoor in Bloom Forum. I am a member of Fleet Pond Society, The National Trust, English Heritage, Hampshire and IOW Wildlife Trust, and Farnborough Air Sciences Trust Association. I have a wicked sense of humour, but can't stand injustice. |
