After many years maintaining a web presence it is
time to call it a day. Domain name and hosting charges
keep rising so with all prices going up due to inflation, stupid
political moves like Brexit and Megalomaniac Putin, little
economies have to be made. The hypertext links have been
disabled and the landing pages deleted from the servers.
To misquote Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy...
"So long and
thanks for all the fish."
I have a number of interests resulting in this index page giving
access to a variety of subjects.
Feel free to look around my world...
You can e-mail me
about any of these pages, if you wish.
Please let me know if you find any broken links or other
problems with this site. If there are anomalies please
let me know so I can sort things out.
Please note: There is
no "shop," no page asking for any of your details, nor is there
anything to download... consequently I have not paid for a SSL
certificate for this website, so you may get a "Not Secure"
warning for these pages. Use common sense on the web and
you should have no reason to fear my web pages.
Sorry but to
the massive amounts of spam on the net, I have been forced to
require that you have Javascript enabled to allow you to

My E-Boat Class Association Pages give
information about the boats, the association, safety
aspects, diary of events, race results and
sales/wanted. However I handed on my E-Boat in
2016 (in the family) but am hoping some other current
owner might take on and update the E-Boat pages.
Mean time current info can be found on FaceBook. |

I love sailing and I was* a qualified RYA Senior Instructor for Keelboats and Dinghies (to Level 5 of the older syllabus) and a member of the St. Andrews & Anstruther Sailing Clubs. I have sailed and owned numerous dinghies, mono & multi-hulls and additionally sailed a few cruiser/racers over the past years. *lack of time has meant I have allowed the qualifications to lapse. |

I have been motorcycling on the road
since the age of 16. I became a part time
examiner with the Institute of Advanced Motorists in
1986. However when I retired from the
police in 2005 I was offered the IAM's Motorcycle
Staff Examiner position, covering Scotland and
northern England... a position I enjoyed and held
until 31 MAR 2014. I am not a track fanatic, but
I enjoy touring at home & in Europe and I have
ventured into Trials to spend more 2-wheel time with
my son. |
|
I got my first pedal-cycle in the 60s
and even back then I enjoyed cycling wooded trails,
probably more than the roads... even if there was
light traffic. Now the roads are so busy I only
use them to join up the off road trails, when there
are no alternatives. However, now in my 60s I
get some battery assistance for the tougher climbs. |

I have always been a car enthusiast and have owned a variety of vehicles over the years from MG's to family type cars and a Land Rover. I now have a 1977 MG Midget and 2004 Smart Roadster to eat into my free time/cash. |
|
The main constraint associated with my pursuits was always work... but having completed 30 years as a Police Officer I am now off to try other things and spend a bit more time on my pursuits! |
|
I was introduced to stage lighting at
the start of 3rd year at Kirkcaldy High School*
(1970)... and have been interested / involved ever
since with the odd period off due to work commitments. *thank you Ross Mitchell (Chemistry
teacher) |
