I have been part of the club for over 10 years when my eldest son starting playing at 7 years old. During this time my three children have also been members of the club and my two boys still play. I have been a volunteer coach during this time and have coached boys from age 7 through to 16 and girls at under 14s. Over the last 5 years I have been Chairman of the club and remain passionate about continued development of the club to be inclusive and a focal point for the community. My background is in science and engineering and I work in the nuclear industry and have undertaken a range of operational and business roles. I am from the North East but have lived in Cockermouth form over 20 years and I am really pleased to be part of the town community and play a small role in providing opportunities for our children to play sport and develop their skills.
