Equestrian sport, in which I have recently competed in dressage and show jumping, but I now confine my
involvement mainly to assisting with organised competitions. I can sometimes be found at the showground at
Crick, where I do a large part of their stewarding for dressage competitions.

Astronomy, recently being on the lecture circuit for south Wales and the south west of England
(variable stars, spectroscopy and relativity), and the occasional organiser of observing sessions for schools.

Attending lectures and discussions organised by the Institution of Engineering Technology
(formerly the Institution of Electrical Engineers), and the Chartered Quality Institute (formerly the
Institute of Quality Assurance). Both organisations require a commitment to Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

Being the owner of an old Audi A8, I joined Club Audi and became the regional representative for Wales. So I am always on the lookout for
interesting things to do with motor cars.
