Honoured and rather moved to be chosen as the next President of @OldHymerians at my school in #Hull
I was a pupil at @Hymers_College from 1975 to 1985
Yes, I find it hard to believe I'm that old too! A proud moment 🙏
Here I am with new chair, the fab @EmilyPennack

I more often host events than speak at them, but what a ball I had in the company of the excellent @ColneValleyMVC
I spoke after dinner following a day of stimulating workshops at @Thevenuehalifax
Great to chat to @Thom_Singer and @rhianbeau
Thanks for asking me! 🎶
