First season?
2014/15

First game?
Watching my son in an U7 match (I can’t recall who it was against!)

Why did you decide to volunteer?
It only felt natural to encourage my son to play after being a season ticket holder at Northampton for years. Having spent a season on the sidelines in the freezing winds at Chinnor, I decided it was better to keep active and help out! So I started with admin for the age group, developing into Youth Secretary. You’ll often find Kirsty (First Aid) and I wearing pink hats - I’m the one on the right!

Best memory?
Our last festival - knowing that more than 1,000 children and their families had enjoyed playing rugby and being part of the team that planned and ran the event. The effort and hours were completely worth it!

What is it like volunteering at Chinnor?
I love the community of Chinnor. I’ve made some of my closest friends as a result of being involved in the Club. Yes it’s hard work, but it’s always done with a smile and when we can celebrate our achievements, it’s with gin!
