I came home on holidays from my Boarding School and saw all the fun that my sister was having with her friends and the beach being close by, and Gosport being such a great place to be brought up, was extraordinarily jealous and eventually I left … at the end of 3 years, I left the Boarding School in Loughborough and came to Bay House myself.

I immediately got involved in the Rugby team at the school, but also the Rugby team for Gosport and Fareham, and then for Cricket, which I played Cricket for Gosport Borough for several years as Captain of the Colts side over here and had a great childhood playing sport here.
