Member Profile : Kathleen Aspinall
Kath says:
 
"I was born in Rochdale Lancashire England, living on a fire station were Dad was a Fire Officer.
 
Although it may seem strange to some the Fire Station was a great playground, we climbed the 100 foot tower, crawled through the underground passages (used for breathing apparatus training) all of which we were of course banned from entering.
 
On leaving school I first trained as a hairdresser, then became a nurse.
 
Eventually I married Ian, had a daughter Amanda and settled down in suburbia, that is until one day reading the newspaper I spotted Ian’s job description in a recruitment advert. Ian at the time was looking to move, he applied and got the position which meant moving to Hong Kong where we stayed until the 1997 Handover to China.
 
Living in Hong Kong was a fantastic experience totally different to suburbia in England, the pace was fast both living and working.

Member Profile : Chris Rees
Born in Hayes, Middlesex an industrial town to the west of London in 1951, Chris was relocated to Cheltenham in Gloucestershire as a six-year old when the family moved to accommodate his father’s job.  Engineering being in the family, it was only natural that at 16 he started work as a Mechanical Engineering apprentice gaining experience manufacturing parts for Commercial Aircraft Undercarriages and fuel system components for the RAF Harrier jump jet.
 
Not content to stay on the factory floor, Chris was given his chance designing heat exchangers and later roller bearings.  He also had spells as a Project Engineer at Ina Bearing Company’s plant in South Wales and later as Bearing Line Supervisor.  It was in South Wales that he formed Llanelli Athletic Club with a good friend Paul Oram.

BBQ rewards
School holidays, a rain-free day, a trusty band of volunteers and a team effort produced a magnificent outcome for our club's projects!
 
But Gerry wants an assurance that the BBQ effort is not retiring with him, so let President Bernie or Gerry know if you can help Judy - 'cause it takes at least two to tango!  You can even comment on this article.
