I have spent my working life in local government, first at Southwark in municipal engineering, then Public Health, followed by Housing, and finally Town Planning in Lambeth. I am currently working as the Front Desk Receptionist at Beckenham Hospital, which is being totally rebuilt with a finish date of 2009. I originally became involved with Bromley Chain by default, via Di Vincent’s Hard of Hearing Club at the Bertha James Centre in the early ‘80s. My wife, Sue, who is a friend of Di, volunteered me to help put up the loop system! Until that time I had never had any direct involvement with the deaf community. Sometime in the mid ‘80s I joined the Committee of Bromley Chain and now, some dozen or so years on, many carnivals, floats, stalls (the famous ‘shop front’ is still in my garage!) and a Vice-Chairmanship later, I am still a hearing committee member. Kathleen and I spent many hours drafting the new Bromley Chain Constitution which was approved by the Charity Commission at the beginning of the millennium.
