Basically, None! Although I do have an outgoing character, so any extra/background work will be great.

Interests & Hobbies

I enjoy reading, particularly history. I researched Rochester's history for a project in the High Street which opened in April 1995. I have started writing a novel of the Roman Invasion of Britain in 43AD and have so far completed 50,000 words.
I won a competition to design a crest for the village of Cranleigh in Surrey, which was used on the 'Twinning' document with Vallendar in Germany. The crest has been adopted by the Parish Council.
I like to play squash and enjoy sailing, but I get little opportunity now - I hold RYA Competent Crew and Day Skipper (shore based) certificates. I also play Korfball for Kwiek K.C, and was the club secretary for nine years. I have coached all the club Junior teams since 1994, at all age groups from U9 to U18. The Junior teams have won a considerable number of competitions at County and National level at all age groups. We usually have a group of 20-35 children of all ages and abilities at Strood Sports Centre every Saturday afternoon. I now have a coaching team to assist me, which means the children get more out of their training sessions.
I have published a web site for the Area Association as Kent League Secretary. This involves management of fixtures, hall hire and availability of equipment, plus dealing with a variety of problems that arise from time to time. I am a level 2 Coach and a National Grade Referee.
My work experience and other interests have given me a working knowledge of PSP, MSOffice, other office packages and basic html, xhtml and Java. My interests and abilities are wide and varied.
