Pool ( snooker)

I have been an active Member of a number of pool comp teams over the years and enjoy the competitive side as well as the skill side of the game 

Motorcycles

I've been an active Member of the (Honda) Victorian VTR Firestorm owners group (previously known as The Vic VTR stormers ) for the past ten years

In the years I've been in the club I have arranged many of our rides and trips away 

Camping and Fishing

I enjoy the outdoors, four wheel driving, fishing, camping etc and have combined this passion with my love of helping others in my role at Free Rein Adventure as a Disability Adventure Support Facilitator.  In this role I support people with significant barriers, which might normally prevent them from accessing these types of activities, to be included and find enjoyment .
